I'd love for someone more experienced to chime in, but on first glance the classification of JavaScript/Typescript as backend strikes me as weird.
That may just be because the team I work with uses a React/Typescript/Java/Postgres stack and we specifically classify the Typescript as part of the Frontend. Maybe it's different in different companies?
I'm sure that a Typescript backend could work perfectly fine, it's just semantics 🤷
You don't classify a language, you write what language you used for the task. I'm guessing you're using Java for backend, and TS only for react?
Yup, exactly! So a calculation-only module that doesn't have a frontend would never have any TS Code in my case.
The classification of language -> task makes sense! I'm thinking of the weird college courses that wanted Java frontends lol
But how would you generalize that for a resume? Say you've used C# both for making backends and making frontends in separate projects. Would any sort of classification make sense in that case?
I separate languages and tools/frameworks (not a dev CV so take with a grain of salt). No clue about the c# world, but for js I'd do something like:
Languages: js, TS
Frameworks: express, react, etc.
The key is to hit all of the required keywords, machines and HR don't know anything else. If a developer looks at your résumé they'll know that you wrote both ends.
