What is a front-end developer?

I don't know, I feel like that's a antiquated, almost a derogatory term used by people who do not know any languages beyond HTML/CSS.

I agree and I'm just as confused. I got told off the other day for putting CSS/HTML in one of our RoR job descriptions, evidently a 'good/senior' RoR developer is back-end only and should not be expected to code HTML/CSS as that is now the domain of the front-end developer. I guess this is probably true, but just shows – I'm learning!

But is a web designer a visual/graphic designer as well?

I think it used to. Now I really don't know too many people who uses that term.
