There has never been a better time to be a front end developer

It's time to spare a thought for the slower browsers, says Scott van Looy....

There has never been a better time to be a front end developer. HTML5 and CSS 3 have allowed us the flexibility to design user interfaces consistently across a wide variety of platforms, whilst JavaScript has been elevated from a scrappy scripting language into a fully fledged programming language with its own ecosystem, development environments and developer community. We are now equipped to do battle with native apps – indeed, the line between what's native and what's not blurs ever more with each browser iteration.

In our quest to become fast-yet-full-featured, I feel we're missing some tricks. How often have you added a library to your front end code? And then added a framework? Maybe a selection of plugins. A dash of responsive grid. Some shims and polyfills. And finally a sprinkling of images?

Suddenly, you mysteriously have hundreds of kilobytes of JavaScript and CSS to download. Libraries and frameworks built on other libraries, full of hacks for older browsers, relying on gzipping and minification to make things small. And that's before you've even reached any of the content you want your users to see.
