Front-end Vs. Back-end Development
- 1. Front-end Vs. Back-end Development FactFull-stack developers handle both, the front-end presentation of the application as well as the back-end code for the database. Website development is the process of creating a website that provides the end-user with an experience which makes him revisit the website. While so many are not in tune with the nuances of website making, the process is divided into two parts - front-end and back-end development. Front- end and back-end are processes that separate the presentation from the code. For example, imagine a restaurant conducting business. The decor of the place, the furnishings, as well as the music provided is the front-end, while the back-end comprises the waiters, chefs, and managers who make sure the machinations of the restaurant run smoothly. What is front-end development? Front-end development deals with the design and interface of the website. The engineers responsible for this part of the website are called front-end developers. These professionals are also known as web designers. What is back-end development? Back-end development involves an application that provides support to the front-end. In a website, the back-end would be responsible for verifying users' details from a database, and allowing them entry as well as taking any suggestions that can be helpful in improving the website. The engineers responsible for the maintenance of the website are called back- end developers. They play a big role in maintaining dynamic websites, like blogs that need constant updation on a regular basis. In the following sections, we shall tell you the difference between front-end development and back- end development. Front-end Vs. Back-end Development Languages The languages that a front-end developer should be familiar with are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- 2. Back-end languages are Ruby on Rails, MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Ruby, Python, and .NET. Team Front-end developers employ the UX (user experience) team to design the look of the website, by studying user habits and changing the design through testing. Back-end developers consist of the architecture team, that design an application that supports the front-end as well as provides support, security, and content management. Stand-alone Service Front-end development cannot be provided independently, except the design can be sold in the form of templates. Back-end development can be provided as an independent service in the form of BaaS (Back-end as a service). Goal The goal of the front-end team consists of making sure that the website is accessible to all users, as well as continuous testing to make sure it's responsive in all views - mobile and desktop. The back-end team exists to create an application around the front-end and support it. In addition, they make sure that the website opens up and functions properly. The back-end runs on the server side, while the front-end runs on the client side. A framework makes it easy on both the teams, as it reduces the coding and speeds up the process indefinitely. In short, front-end and back-end development are both needed to create a full-functioning website.
