Web Development is the process of building and maintaining websites or web applications that run on the internet. It includes everything from creating simple web pages to developing complex online systems like e-commerce stores, social media platforms, and web-based software.

In simple words, web development is about writing code, designing, and setting up websites so that people can access them from their computers, smartphones, or tablets.

• Front-End Development

  • This is the part users see and interact with.

  • Involves designing web pages using:

    • HTML (structure of the page)

    • CSS (style, layout, colors, fonts)

    • JavaScript (interactivity like sliders, forms, animations)

  • Example: Buttons, images, forms on a website.

• Back-End Development

  • This is the part users don’t see, where the server, databases, and application logic work.

  • Technologies used:

    • Node.js, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby

    • Database systems: MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL

  • Example: Managing user accounts, storing products in an online store.

• Full-Stack Development

  • Developers who handle both front-end and back-end are called full-stack developers.

  • They build complete web applications from design to database management.
