Hiring IT specialists in technologies and programming languages

JavaScript is the main tool in modern front-end development. This programming language is used to create basic interface elements such as interactive menus, maps, buttons, and more. The animated parts are also built using JS. Nowadays, up to 97% of websites use JavaScript as part of their tech stack.

Every year, JavaScript takes the lead in the ranking of the most popular programming languages by the PYPL Index. The popularity rating is based on the number of search queries that include the names of the programming language.

Let’s discuss what a JS developer needs to know and where to find Senior-level developers in the text below.

Who are JavaScript Developers And Why You Should Hire Them

JavaScript developer creates and maintains desktop apps, mobile applications, and browser-based server solutions. Such a specialist works, for example, with backend developers and designers to create convenient web applications. In addition to writing code, JS programmers also cover the code with unit tests and optimize it to make sure that there are no errors and that it meets all standards.

There are many reasons to hire a JavaScript developer, including:

Increased efficiency and productivity. JavaScript is a very “concise” programming language. This allows developers to spend less time on tasks, which ultimately saves your company money.

Cross-platform compatibility. JavaScript code can run on any platform, including Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices. This makes it a perfect choice for developing cross-platform products.

Improved user interface. JavaScript developers can create interactive and attractive user interfaces that will improve the user experience with your site or program.

What Every JS Developer Should Know

A JavaScript developer rarely writes code in pure JS. Typically, his experience includes working with VueJS, AngularJS, or ReactJS frameworks, among others. What besides the base in the JavaScript programmer’s CV:

confident JS knowledge,
experience with REST API,
HTML5 and CSS3 for creating feature-rich web interfaces,
principles of object-oriented programming (OOP) and common design patterns,
UI components like Bootstrap and jQuery UI, JS DOM (jQuery),
code development methods such as TDD,
Jest and Mocha frameworks for unit tests,
Webpack tool for bundling modules,
version control systems such as Git and Mercurial.
