Canonical formulation of quantum field theory on the Light Front (LF)
is reviewed. The problem of constructing the LF Hamiltonian which gives
the theory equivalent to original Lorentz and gauge invariant one is
considered. We describe possible ways of solving this problem: (a) the
limiting transition from the equal-time Hamiltonian in a fast moving
Lorentz frame to LF Hamiltonian, (b) the direct comparison of LF
perturbation theory in coupling constant and usual Lorentz-covariant
Feynman perturbation theory. The results of the application of method (b)
to QED-1+1 and QCD-3+1 are given. Gauge invariant regularization
of LF Hamiltonian via introducing a lattice in transverse coordinates
and imposing periodic boundary conditions in LF coordinate $x^-$
for gauge fields on the interval $|x^-|
