 What's up guys? Today I'm going to answer the question, does UX design require coding? You're not going to want to miss this. Let's go. Right guys, let's jump straight into it. This is probably the most asked question I get from beginners all the time. And it's, do you need to know code as a designer? So let's put it straight. There's two different fields when you work as a professional designer. There's a designer and there's a developer. And when you work in a company, they have different people for different roles. So I, as a professional designer, don't do any coding. I know little bits of code just because I picked it up over the years. But from beginning to output, I don't actually deliver any code. So you don't need to go on a course to learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, which are the three different technologies that we use when we make websites. So I'm going to break it down like this. As a designer, your job is to take ideas and to take information and to craft it in a way, kind of like an architect crafts a house. So an architect will draw blueprints and they'll take all the ideas from the client, which will be the person who wants the house built or the person who wants the website built, they'll put that together, they'll work with them. Then they'll put structural plans together, which then you can hand over to a team of builders and they'll build the house. And it's exactly the same way when you do a website. I could literally, my job is to create plans and to hand them over to develop a development team. And there's different types of developers. There's front end developers who work on the actual visual thing that you see. So on YouTube, it's all the fonts, everything that you see now. And then there's back end developers who work where to get the video from. All the information, they're different skill sets altogether. So it's good to have a good overview of them when you really don't like, I don't care if the designer knows how to code it because it's like you care of your bricklayer knows how to design architectural plans for a building. You don't, the separate skill sets, smaller companies may combine them, but that's only because they're trying to save on hiring and paying different people. But when you work in the world class organizations, the big companies, they're very different skill sets. I don't, I'm definitely not a pro in coding. So take it for me and I've worked in loads of places that you don't need to know it, but what you do need to know is that as a designer, your job is to hand over plans. And those plans could literally be drawn on a piece of paper. I know we talk about the different tools like I use Figma to design websites. And then there's wireframes and all of wireframe is a sketch. Maybe then on a computer could be done on paper. But I do high fidelity wireframes, which takes the sketch and then makes it look like a real website and prototyping tools. But that's only because I've found by working over the years that developers prefer working from the wireframe because it looks like another wireframe, the high fidelity prototype, because it looks like a website and they know what to build. And my job is to hand over the best plans to developers as I can. So if you want to learn web technologies, that's HTML, CSS, JavaScript, then you can go on a course on Udemy. There's plenty of good ones and you can learn that. But then your job at the end of it, you won't want to go and work as a UX designer, you'll want to work as a front end developer or a UI developer as they're called in different countries. And their job is to make what the designer gives them. So they take the plans and make it. So either you're a designer or a developer, it's up to you which one you are. But I hope that makes it, I hope that breaks it down a little bit more. If you guys want to learn more about becoming a professional UX designer, check out AnthonyComboy.com.
