<h2>Skill 9: Debugging</h2>
<p>Yes, we all know it and fear it: <strong>debugging</strong>. </p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="480" height="246" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/DebuggingProgrammingGIF.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-1089555"/></figure>

<h2>Skill 10: Testing/QA</h2>
<p><strong>Testing and Quality Assurance</strong> are processes used to ensure that a website or web application is functioning correctly before it is released. UI developers need to be able to test their work and ensure that it meets the specified requirements.</p>
<p>Testing is often not done correctly or follows too strict rules. In my world, when I create apps, I just play with them, pressing any button and inputting all kinds of stupid things to test my app. This has brought to light many more errors than standard unit tests.</p>
<h2>Skill 11: Building User Interfaces with Frameworks</h2>
<p>Frameworks are used to simplify the process of building user interfaces. UI developers need to be familiar with the most popular frameworks in order to create modern and efficient user interfaces.</p>

</div>
<p>Most software developers waste thousands of hours working with overly complex code. The eight core principles in The Art of Clean Coding will teach you how to write clear, maintainable code without compromising functionality. The book’s guiding principle is simplicity: reduce and simplify, then reinvest energy in the important parts to save you countless hours and ease the often onerous task of code maintenance.</p>
<ol>
<li>Concentrate on the important stuff with the <strong>80/20 principle</strong> — focus on the 20% of your code that matters most</li>
<li>Avoid coding in isolation: create a <strong>minimum viable product</strong> to get early feedback</li>
<li>Write code cleanly and simply to <strong>eliminate clutter</strong> </li>
<li><strong>Avoid premature optimization</strong> that risks over-complicating code </li>
<li>Balance your goals, capacity, and feedback to achieve the productive state of <strong>Flow</strong></li>
<li>Apply the <strong>Do One Thing Well</strong> philosophy to vastly improve functionality</li>
<li>Design efficient user interfaces with the <strong>Less is More</strong> principle</li>
<li>Tie your new skills together into one unifying principle: <strong>Focus</strong></li>
</ol>

<p>Data visualization is the process of creating visuals that represent data in an easy-to-understand way. UI developers need to be able to create effective data visualizations to make complex data easier to understand.</p>
<p>Personally, I’d recommend you check out Plotly Dash — a Python framework for easy development of dashboard apps:</p>

<h2>Skill 9: Debugging</h2>
<p>Yes, we all know it and fear it: <strong>debugging</strong>. </p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="480" height="246" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/DebuggingProgrammingGIF.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-1089555"/></figure>

<h2>Skill 10: Testing/QA</h2>
<p><strong>Testing and Quality Assurance</strong> are processes used to ensure that a website or web application is functioning correctly before it is released. UI developers need to be able to test their work and ensure that it meets the specified requirements.</p>
<p>Testing is often not done correctly or follows too strict rules. In my world, when I create apps, I just play with them, pressing any button and inputting all kinds of stupid things to test my app. This has brought to light many more errors than standard unit tests.</p>
<h2>Skill 11: Building User Interfaces with Frameworks</h2>
<p>Frameworks are used to simplify the process of building user interfaces. UI developers need to be familiar with the most popular frameworks in order to create modern and efficient user interfaces.</p>
<p>Here’s a table I created to show the income distributions of different PHP frameworks:</p>

</div>
<p>Most software developers waste thousands of hours working with overly complex code. The eight core principles in The Art of Clean Coding will teach you how to write clear, maintainable code without compromising functionality. The book’s guiding principle is simplicity: reduce and simplify, then reinvest energy in the important parts to save you countless hours and ease the often onerous task of code maintenance.</p>
<ol>
<li>Concentrate on the important stuff with the <strong>80/20 principle</strong> — focus on the 20% of your code that matters most</li>
<li>Avoid coding in isolation: create a <strong>minimum viable product</strong> to get early feedback</li>
<li>Write code cleanly and simply to <strong>eliminate clutter</strong> </li>
<li><strong>Avoid premature optimization</strong> that risks over-complicating code </li>
<li>Balance your goals, capacity, and feedback to achieve the productive state of <strong>Flow</strong></li>
<li>Apply the <strong>Do One Thing Well</strong> philosophy to vastly improve functionality</li>
<li>Design efficient user interfaces with the <strong>Less is More</strong> principle</li>
<li>Tie your new skills together into one unifying principle: <strong>Focus</strong></li>
</ol>
