What does a Junior Web Developer Do?
A Junior Web Developer works with a team of developers to create new websites and applications. The “junior” designation means you work under the supervision of senior developers in your department, but you may be involved in all stages of the project, from brainstorming to final testing. As a Junior Web Developer, you review web design needs and preferences and provide advice on website maintenance.

Just a year ago I took a leap of faith to engage in an industry that I didn’t know and finally achieved a career in software engineering. Huge shout outs to Generation USA for preparing me for this opportunity in not only the technical side of programming, but in what it means to work alongside a team and beyond.
