Just 12.31% of respondents said that they had less than 2 years experience.Īs with previous surveys, a clear majority of respondents have a fairly high level of experience in front-end technologies. However it's worth noting that this could be partly explained by a number of respondents also having participated in last year's survey, and will now (naturally) have more experience. This is up slightly from last year's results (54.18%), so this year's respondents have slightly more experience with front-end technologies.
The question asked was – Roughly how long have you been working with front-end technologies?ĥ9.1% of respondents have been working with front-end technologies for over 5 years. The first question in the survey was used to find out the amount of front-end experience each respondent has. JavaScript Module Bundlers & Task Runners experience.Most frequently used JS frameworks/libraries.Knowledge of JavaScript Libraries and Frameworks.CSS Methodologies and Naming Scheme Experience.Where possible, you'll see that I've included the percentage change from the 2018 survey alongside this year's figures. It was also featured by a number of newsletters – FrontEnd Focus and CSS Weekly among others. In terms of where this year's responses may have come from, the link to the survey was posted on Twitter, Reddit, HackerNews, DesignerNews, Echo.js, LinkedIn and Frontendfront. All things considered though, over 3,000 responses is still incredible. I found it a little more difficult to publicise the survey this year, possibly due to there being an increasing number of web development survey’s out there, but also due to the amount of personal time I could spend trying to get the word out there. This is down a little from last years survey which received 5,461 responses. Therefore, they shouldn’t be taken as gospel, simply as pointing towards a rough trend.Īs mentioned above, this year's survey received 3,005 responses. These results represent a sample of front-end developers working in the industry. So, let's get to it! Grab yourself a tea || coffee || beverage of your choice and let’s take a look over the results… You'll also find links to Wes' courses where relevant throughout the results. Whether you’re just starting out in web development, or an experienced developer looking to level-up your skillset, I'd highly recommend checking out Wes' courses. Wes is renowned for creating awesome learning materials for web developers. This survey takes a lot of time to put together each year and is made possible due to the support of Wes Bos (through affiliation with the survey) and my employer, Just Eat. These results (hopefully) help give an insight into the current usage trends and knowledge levels across front-end tools, as well as showing how these are changing over time by looking at the figures from previous surveys. Organising and writing up the survey has been especially challenging this year with the addition of a baby girl to our family (thus the delay in these results!).Īs always it's super interesting to look at what’s changed over the last 12 months in front-end tooling and see if our thoughts and opinions are shared by other developers in the industry. As always, a massive thank you from me to every single person that took the time to fill it in.
This year, 3,005 developers answered 27 questions covering a wide range of front-end tools and methodologies. It's been a little while coming, but the results from the 2019 Front-End Tooling Survey are now here!
