Re: Approach towards building a portfolio

[theacefes]

To expand on what the above folks said, if your portfolio is going to show a ton of animation using css transitions and javascript and focuses more on the movement of the elements as opposed to their aesthetics, then you’re probably leaning towards front end development.

If you like designing stuff (how it actually looks) but don’t really care to learn the technical implementation process, then you’re probably leaning toward web design/UI design.

Also keep in mind that a javascript engineer is not the same thing as a front end developer.
