Mastering the Front-End Core - A Deep Dive

A Developer's Handbook

This blog series is a space to revisit the front-end essentials —with depth and intention. It's a mix of hands-on learning, practical breakdowns, and honest reflections.

This isn’t about cramming for interviews or memorising answers. It’s about sharpening core engineering skills, exploring scalable front-end architecture, and understanding how things really work.

If you're preparing for interviews, levelling up your front-end skills, or simply curious about building cleaner, more thoughtful UI systems — this series is for you.

 

What You’ll Learn:

🌟 JavaScript & Browser Internals

A frontend developer needs to understand JavaScript beyond the syntax. I’ll cover:

• Core concepts like closures, hoisting, async/await, and the event loop
• How browsers render and manage memory
• Real-world performance tuning tips

JS Fundamentals That Still Trip Up Developers >>>

🌟 Framework Deep Dives: React & Angular

I'll go into practical and advanced topics in both frameworks:

• React: Hooks, reconciliation, component patterns
• Angular: Change detection, lazy loading
• Real comparisons and how I handle framework-switching in interviews

🌟 System Design for Front-End

This is where your experienced mindset is tested:

• Designing scalable UI architectures
• Thinking in components, performance, and code splitting
• Real-world case studies

🌟 Behavioural & Soft Skills

It isn't just about code. I’ll share:

• How I prepare for leadership, collaboration, and communication questions
• Using STAR method for structuring my answers
• Reflecting on career growth, mentorship, and owning features

🌟 UI Engineering: HTML, CSS & Design Systems

Clean, accessible, and scalable UI still matters:

• Semantic HTML, ARIA, accessibility best practices
• CSS layout mastery (Flexbox, Grid) and responsive design
• Customisation in design systems like Material UI or Tailwind
