Front- and backend-development are closely related and cannot exist separately. However, these are completely different areas of programming, both by the type of tasks performed and by the general purpose.
In this article we will tell you about the differences of these trends, their specific features and requirements to developers.
The concept of frontend-development
Under the concept of front-end we mean the development of a visible interface for the user and all the functions with which he can interact. In fact, when you go to any site, you see there buttons, text, various animations and other components – all implemented with a frontend. Three different languages are used to create these elements – HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Take a look at the structure of the page right now – to do that, on any website, call the developer’s console by pressing the F12 key. You will see a set of lines of code that make up the appearance of this page.
How a page looks in the browser when parsing a frontend theme
Page code is used to describe everything visible: fonts, images, element sizes, animations, popups, click sounds, and anything else the user can interact with. Different languages are responsible for each part of the interface. These are the ones that a front-end developer must learn.
