Front-End Development and Back-end Development

Now, do not confuse yourself with Front End Development and Back End Development as if they have a different role to play here. Both, front-end development and back-end development, come under web development. However, due to the advancement in the industry and improvement in expertise, the understanding of their responsibilities is kind of fading. However, let’s make it simple for you:

Front End Development begins where web design ends. The responsibility of the Front End Developer is to give the design (a creative image provided by the web designer) a soul by using the programming languages HTML, JS, and Python for the users to interact. Let’s say the website requires you to mention your name and email, would you be able to type your name or email if it was only an image? So the front-end developer code so that you may type and submit; a type-able platform.

Whereas Back End Development is kind of like the backbone of the website. Back-end developer also uses strong codes and maintain server sides that normally people are unable to see and are unaware of. Let’s say you enter your information to log in to the website, where will this information go and how do you go to the next page? Your personal information has to be processed and stored in the server so the next time when you log in, you do not have to reenter all information again. Also, when you enter or submit, you are brought to the next page, this is what the back-end developers do.
