A ReactJS Developer implements user-facing features for websites and applications using ReactJS. ReactJS Developers are known as user interface developers, a small group of ReactJS developers who manage everything a user sees in their web browser or app. In other words, they are responsible for the interface of a website or application to ensure a seamless experience for the user.
Menu buttons, forms, icons and graphics images, voice recognition (Siri and Cortana), and gesture-based control interfaces (e.g. pinching a smartphone screen to zoom in and out) are just a few of the interesting things a ReactJS developer can do.
ReactJS Developers use their knowledge in JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and other programming languages and incorporate them into the open-source ReactJS library ecosystem.
Additionally, ReactJS Developers work with quality assurance experts to test code before an application or website goes live. ReactJS Developers can also work with a team of developers, programmers, web designers and project managers to work closely together on a client's software project.
ReactJS is a powerful front-end development tool. Many businesses claim that having a solid foundation in ReactJS is necessary for good career progression in this tech industry.
