A designer takes a role in a production similar to how a director in a movie conducts how the movie will take place and look like to the audience.

5 Qualities of a Good Web Developer
www.creative-dr.com | Developers | 11 9th, 2010 | No Comments »
  1. A thirst for knowledge Even with a degree in hand, a web developer’s education is far from over. There is no way to teach all the skills necessary to succeed in the world of web development in any single institution. A web developer will continue to learn until the day he retires. Ultimately a web developer is a craftsman, fashioning a product that can never be finished, thus attempting to succeed without the desire to expand his or her personal repertoire is an effort in futility.
  2. Experience Since no simple classroom setting can teach you all you need to know to step right into the role, real world experience is necessary in order to adequately perform job duties. You will likely learn more relevant, practical information in your first year on the job, just by doing, than in your entire collegiate career. As a result, for those who want to hit the ground running, internships come highly recommend, helping to see coursework fundamentals in action.
  3. Patience Building a website or creating a new function isn’t one day job. In many cases, a web developer may spend months perhaps even years working on a single, very complicated project. An impatient individual who strives for immediate return on his creation may succumb to frustration or burn out before a project is complete.
  4. Attention to Detail It is important to adhere to coding standards and design patterns and remain consistent in your replication of these efforts. Even small mistakes can greatly alter a website’s functionality, leaving a developer with laundry lists of code to check and recheck in order to weed out mistakes and repair the problem.
  5. Creativity Though the term computer science may focus on the information heavy aspect of web development, a web developer is nothing without a little imagination. Creativity helps to adapt to situations and set new heights for innovative websites as user preferences continue to change over time.
