Guest Speaker Reactions: Trevor Davis
Trevor Davis is a young man working for the Matrix Group as a front-end developer and writes for his personal site ( http://trevordavis.net ) and can be found on Net Tuts as well. Trevor spoke about the skillset you need to be a great front end developer which is right up our students alley. Most of these students are currently front end developers because they haven’t been exposed to programming long enough to be really great at it but they have a solid foundation in HTML, CSS, and design; so actually, maybe they are more suited for front end design (rather than development). His chat nailed many key aspects of being great at what he does, but more over I was impressed with the over all attitude he was inferring. In many places he spoke about new technologies and best practices and indirectly he kept referring to how you must continue to learn, you are always a student. A great take away for the students, in addition to all the hands on nitty gritty details on being an excellent front end developer. Thanks Trevor, we enjoyed having you.
