What is Front-End and Back-End development?

[shukla7789]

Are people who work with code programmers? Not necessarily! Learn more about Front-End and Back-End and how different types of code make up a website.
Web Design, Front-End, Back-End, Hosting… creating a website or application seems quite complicated, as it is a process that goes through several steps.

Many people think that anyone who creates websites is necessarily a programmer. This is not true, especially because websites are not made only of programming code.

This is because there are two types of code: front-end and back-end. If you want to understand the difference between the two, keep reading!

Quick answer: Is someone who works with code a programmer?

The term “code” can be much broader than it seems. This is because there is not just one type of code, and not all code is “programming”.

Yes, some of the code created to make websites, for example, has nothing to do with programming.

We can divide a website's source code into two parts by comparing it to the human body:

One part is the code that makes the things you see on a website: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, for example, which are the code that the browser reads—this code is the front-end . In a human body, imagine this is the flesh, muscle, and skeleton part.
The other part is the code that makes these things work, but is not apparent on the website: PHP or Java, for example, which are codes that the server reads – this code is the back-end . In the example of the human body, imagine that this part is the organs.
Did you miss something in this analogy of the human body?

The thing is that skin, hair, or even clothing, for example, are part of the visual styles that are created by a web designer , not by a developer.

But how is the web designer’s work applied to a website, then?!

How does a website code work?
Continuing with the comparison between a website and the human body, what the web design professional creates is transformed into code by the front-end developer.

That's why I used flesh and muscles as an example of front-end : they are resources that are not visible, but give shape to the body. So, web design and front-end are directly related.

The back-end contains the website’s features and tools – hence the analogy with organs, such as the heart and brain. Again, these are resources that are not visible, but make parts of the website work.

However, not every website needs a back-end. For more basic websites, without contact forms and other features that require a programming language, it is possible to use only front-end code.
