HTML/CSS/JS
You see yourself as
a developer but you want to make things *beautiful*
Not just because you
can, but because that makes users happy. And you care about happy users. You’re
passionate about the web, and the little things matter. A lot.
You understand that
creative design, UX and business needs can all come together to deliver
outstanding customer experiences. You get both the art and the science behind
awesome web experiences, and contribute by asking the right questions at the
right time, as well as choosing the right path and frameworks.
You think without
browser constraints, and design in code because it’s faster, and well, just
better – you know it’s not real ’till it’s in a users’ hand. You’re passionate
about coding world-class web products, and you burn to help others get there
too. And you wouldn’t mind shaking up the way education is delivered in the
21st century.
