Web<br />

developer<br />

A Web developer is a term that can refer<br />

to an individual or a company that<br />

provides services to build and maintain<br />

high-end websites. The skills of a Web<br />

developer are more expansive than<br />

that of a webmaster, who might be a<br />

simple end-user utilising ready-made<br />

scripts to patch together a pers<strong>on</strong>al<br />

website. A Web developer is generally<br />

capable of writing custom scripts to<br />

accommodate a client’s needs, and is<br />

either professi<strong>on</strong>ally trained in, or has<br />

ample pers<strong>on</strong>al experience working<br />

with various scripting languages.<br />

A Web developer builds a Web presence<br />

from the bottom up, fashi<strong>on</strong>ing<br />

everything from the home page to<br />

site layout and functi<strong>on</strong>. A good Web<br />

developer takes into account the client’s<br />

products or services al<strong>on</strong>g with<br />

the target market to create a website<br />

that will have specific appeal to that<br />

market. The site should also showcase<br />

the products or services in such a<br />

way that is not <strong>on</strong>ly promoti<strong>on</strong>al, but<br />

dynamic, stressing the advantages over<br />

the competiti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

The Web developer must also make<br />

sure that forms work properly. Various<br />

scripting languages exist in which<br />

to create surveys, c<strong>on</strong>tests and sales<br />

mechanisms — the means to securely<br />

transfer informati<strong>on</strong> between visitors<br />

and the website. Browser settings for<br />

cookies and scripts can hamper the<br />

proper functi<strong>on</strong>ing of some Web forms.<br />

A Web developer takes all of this into<br />

c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> so that when a visitor<br />

fills in a form, they are sure to get satisfacti<strong>on</strong>,<br />

and not have the form “hang”<br />

or “reappear blank” up<strong>on</strong> clicking the<br />

“Send” butt<strong>on</strong>. A site that is broken<br />

doesn’t bode well for business.<br />

In many cases today Web developers<br />

are firms with teams of professi<strong>on</strong>als<br />

that specialise in different areas of Web<br />

development and <strong>on</strong>line commerce.<br />

While the humble webmaster is a<br />

good fit for yesteryear’s websites, and<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tinues to work for smaller sites, a<br />

corporati<strong>on</strong> desirous of a custom Web<br />

presence and slick applicati<strong>on</strong>s written<br />

with the newest scripts utilizing the<br />

latest technology are best served by a<br />

qualified Web developer.<br />

Job oportunities<br />

According to John Lappin, our IT Specialist,<br />

who for the past 10 years has<br />

been working as a c<strong>on</strong>tractor for Microsoft<br />

Ireland, the IT Job Market has<br />

been flourishing for years in Ireland.<br />

Most of the well-known multinati<strong>on</strong>als<br />

are based in Ireland and there is an<br />

ever increasing demand for IT Skills.<br />

These include: Applicati<strong>on</strong>s developer,<br />

Database administrator, Games<br />

developer, IT c<strong>on</strong>sultant, IT sales<br />

professi<strong>on</strong>al, multimedia programmer,<br />

Multimedia specialist, Network engineer,<br />

Software engineer and Systems<br />

analyst to menti<strong>on</strong> a few!<br />

A wide range of instituti<strong>on</strong>s in Ireland<br />

provide third level educati<strong>on</strong> in related<br />

areas, as well as vocati<strong>on</strong>al educati<strong>on</strong><br />

and training. Now that you know what<br />

it looks like to be a Web Developer<br />

remember, when choosing a course, to<br />

think about which subjects interest you<br />

and the type of qualificati<strong>on</strong> you want<br />

and which style of studying suits you<br />

best. Good luck with your choice.<br />
