Answer 4

one can't become frontend developer by learning just a single language there many parameters to keep in mind for becoming a front-end developer

First you to know the basic of web technology .

which Html and CSS ( this are not programming languages but this are most important part of web development to learn )

then learn JavaScript .

now days there are many JavaScript front-end framework available
like Angularjs or React learn this things after learning JavaScript .

so why learn HTLM : you know you have to structure you web page . then you have to use HTML

CSS ?? : YES now your web structured the information you want show is visible . but one problem it's looking ugly . now CSS will come to rescue you . so using CSS not only put your data where ever you want but also style them color theme .

but you said JavaScript ??
yes

remember when you put your data into contact from or any sign form if you type number instead of email . it's shows you that you have entered wrong information . how it's possible
??
you guessed it right .
it's JavaScript who checks it in client machine before sending that data into server .

there are enormous things you can do with JavaScript like animations or showing or hiding data according to events

learning JavaScript is not enough .

want to create realtime application or one page application you have to learn Angularjs or this type of framework .

so why need framework ??

just imagine you have to build a massive website you have less time left but you have to complete that website within time with great quality .

frameworks can rescu you from this situation . frameworks are nothing but collections of codes which can reused without writing them again again .
want to create a validation just call the function tada magic will happen . you don't have to code it from scratch .

also you have to learn Adobe Photoshop or illustrator

and many UI / UX related stuff to keep yourself​ in demand
