Dom's new book is a great refresher on some of the fundamental theories of front-end development, coupled with an insightful dive into how front-end developer roles are structured in today's world. Plenty of jumping off points for further investigation, and something I'd recommend for those new to (or looking to refresh in) the world of development. -- James Mayes * Co-Founder and CEO, Mind the Product * For any aspiring developer, this book is a must; Dominic has taken his vast experience as a web developer and has published an intuitive, easy to read definitive guide that reflects on the day to day activities & covers the choice of frameworks vs libraries, challenges, techniques, approaches, communications, skills and explains common tools of the trade. -- Andy Widdess * Enterprise Architect, The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (affiliated to the University of Cambridge) * From how to become a front-end developer, to a day in the life of one, this book is a 360 view of this fascinating role.
