of coding has no creative boundaries.

 Certain web development occupations entail high-stress settings with demanding delivery
timelines and deadlines.

 Many web developers thrive in the high pressure, however many are not able to deal with
this and it can be very frustrating for many.

 Having to learn to code is another downside as the learning curve is quite steep compared
to other occupations and many give up as a result.
 Personal Summary

 I chose to create a booklet on web developers because I am truly interested in this career.
 That this career is very useful in today’s world because of the sheer amount of people that
have access to the internet.
 The more users on the internet, the higher the demand is for good looking, well performing
websites.
 The higher the demand is, the more the salary increases.
 Can also help sharpen your own personal problem-solving skills and increases attention to
detail.
 I believe web developers play a key role in today’s modern society and the modern world
would be very different were they to not exist.
