A Healthcare Professional’s Guide to Front-End Development
Exploring coding on your own can be a daunting task, with countless languages, frameworks, and concepts to navigate. It’s easy to spend months learning abstract concepts without understanding how to apply them practically. As a healthcare professional looking to get started with coding, it can be overwhelming. That’s why I often suggest starting with front-end development. Not only does it provide a solid foundation for other areas of development, but it also offers a tangible starting point for beginners.
In this post, we’ll explore what front-end development is, how it works, and why it’s essential in healthcare.
What is Front-End Development?
