What do you need to know about if you want (or more likely are forced) to work with front end development these days? In this presentation I will give an introduction and an overview of the modern web developers toolbox.

The world has changed much over the last ten years. Back in 2008 you either used PHP, CSS and JavaScript or you would use Java with JSP or JSF. In the Java world, front-end was considered easy to learn but difficult to get right. It was just something you hacked and got working – like frosting on a cake. Today the world is quite different. Now you use bundlers, test frameworks, linters, transpilers, minification, preprocessors, automation, dependency management. Come and learn why these tools are part of a modern web developer toolbox. Discover that front end has become a rich, professional and complex industry.

Mads Hoel is a senior Java consultant working at Inmeta Consulting in Oslo. He has been working on several projects, customers and with different technology from back end to front end. Software craftsmanship is important to him.
