I'm planning to apply for front end developer jobs. The problem is that, I've only worked for my self for last couple of years (freelance), so I don't know what to expect from job in actual company. I assume I'll need to work tight with designers and back-end developers, which is fine with me, but does that mean that I'll need to be experienced in design and know several back-end programming languages as well?
I'm assuming that thing required from front-end developer include: JavaScript / jQuery , Html (5), css (3), git / github, some creativity and maybe .htaccess
I also saw that some job advertisements require you to know asp.net and mvc, php which I can't picture to be requirements for a front-end development.
So, (in general) what are requirements that modern front-end developers need to meet?
The line between "back" and "front" moves, depending on the project and/or company.
One company might be referring to the difference between core framework APIs and forward-facing PHP+MySQL code, while another might be distinguishing between HTML and Photoshop.
Using your example, if you're going to define "front-end" and HTML+CSS+JavaScript, then I would not expect to see ".htaccess" on your list (after all, it's basically a runtime config for Apache - definitely a server-side thing). If you expect .htaccess to be in a front-end skillset, why not PHP?
At the end of the day, though, just trust the job description: if they're asking for PHP, you'll be using PHP (and be expected to know how to).
BTW, MVC isn't exclusive to "backend" programming. JavaScript is not just kiddie-script, and JS apps benefit from programming patterns as much as any language.
As above it depends on the company. Most will expect some PHP or asp.net knowledge now, in the same respect that you need to know some PHP in order to integrate designs in to WordPress.
