Core Technical Skills
• Programming Languages: Proficiency in at least one programming language like Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, C# or Ruby is essential. Understanding syntax, data structures, and algorithms is crucial.
• Version Control: Experience with Git and platforms like GitHub or GitLab to manage code repositories, work on branches, and handle pull requests.
• Development Environment: Familiarity with IDEs (e.g., Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA) and command-line tools to navigate and manage development tasks.
• Debugging and Testing: Knowledge of debugging tools, unit testing, and test-driven development (TDD) practices. Tools like Jest, JUnit, or PyTest can be useful.
• Basic Algorithms and Data Structures: Understanding sorting algorithms, searching algorithms, linked lists, trees, stacks, queues, and hashmaps.
• Web Development (if applicable): Understanding of front-end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Angular) and back-end technologies (Node.js, Django, Flask, Ruby on Rails).
Software Development Practices
• Agile Methodology: Understanding agile workflows, such as sprints, stand-ups, and using tools like JIRA or Trello for task tracking.
• Clean Code Principles: Writing readable, maintainable, and efficient code that follows best practices like DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) and SOLID principles.
• Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Exposure to automated testing and deployment pipelines using tools like Jenkins, CircleCI, or GitHub Actions.
Databases and APIs
• SQL and NoSQL Databases: Basic knowledge of database management, SQL queries (MySQL, PostgreSQL), and working with NoSQL databases like MongoDB.
• RESTful APIs: Understanding how to work with and create APIs, handle JSON responses, and manage HTTP requests and responses.
Cloud and DevOps Basics
• Cloud Platforms: Familiarity with services like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, particularly for deploying applications.
• Containerization: Basic understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and container management can be useful as DevOps becomes more integrated into development roles.
Collaboration and Communication
• Teamwork: The ability to work in a collaborative environment, communicate effectively with other developers, and participate in code reviews.
• Documentation: Writing clear and concise technical documentation for projects, APIs, and workflows.
Security Basics
• Understanding secure coding practices, data privacy, and protection measures, including encryption, authentication, and authorization techniques (e.g., OAuth, JWT).
By mastering these foundational skills, a junior developer will be well-prepared to grow and contribute effectively in their role.
