↔️Backend vs Frontend Development

Backend vs Frontend Web Languages

Frontend Languages:

  • Focus on the client side, what users interact with directly in the web browser.

  • This code runs on the browser after it has been downloaded from the server.

  • Key languages include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

  • Responsible for the structure, design, and behavior of web pages.

  • Examples: React, Angular, Vue.js.

Backend Languages and Tools:

  • Manage server-side operations, database interactions, and application logic.

  • This code runs on the server before it is sent to the browser on the client machine.

  • Common languages include Python, Java, Ruby, PHP, and Node.js.

  • Handle data storage, authentication, and server communication.

  • Examples: Django, Spring, Laravel, Ruby on Rails, Express, and Flask

Frontend deals with user interface and experience, while backend manages data processing and business logic.
