🚵🏻 🧑 🍊 Questions I was asked in front-end interviews 🛀🏼 🎁 👵🏿

Hello. OTUS is launching a full line of JavaScript courses again in September. Right now, you can watch an open lesson for the JavaScript Developer. Professional course , as well as register for the open houses for the React.js Developer and JavaScript Developer. Basic courses . Well, we traditionally share with you the translation of useful material.

Front-end interview (in 2 parts)

1. Questions I was asked in front-end interviews.

2. Resources for preparing for an interview (for the position of front-end developer).
