WHAT IS WEB DEVELOPMENT ?
Web Development usually refers to developing the website for
the Internet (World Wide Web) or for an Intranet (Private
network).
Also known as Web Programming.
It is the creation of Dynamic Web Applications.
Examples of Web Applications are Social networking sites like
Facebook or E-commerce sites like Amazon, Flipkart, etc.
There are two broad division of Web Development –
Front-end Development (also called Client-side Development)
Back-end Development (also called Server-side Development).
FRONT END DEVELOPMENT
Front end development refers to producing a web application so
that a user can see and interact with them directly.
It is also known as Client side development.
It focuses on the visual elements of a website that a user will interact
with.
A front end developer has one general responsibility: to ensure that
website visitors can easily interact with the page. They do this through
the combination of design, technology and programming to code a
website's appearance, as well as taking care of debugging.
The common technologies we can use in front-end development are:
HTML
CSS
JAVASCRIPT
FRONTEND DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIES
HTML was first created by Tim Berners-Lee, starting in 1989. It stands
for Hyper Text Markup Language.
Hypertext means that the document contains links that allow the
reader to jump to other places in the document.
A Markup Language is a way that computers speak to each other to
control how text is processed and presented.
It describes the structure of a web page and consists series of elements.
Its elements tells browser how to display the content.
It’s code is written in Notepad or any text editor but save it as .htm
or .html extension.

CSS was first proposed by Hakon Wium Lie on October 10, 1994
at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research).
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) describes how HTML elements are to be
displayed on screen.
CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages
all at once.
It is also responsible for responsive layouts of a website.
It is also written in any text editor but save as .css extension.
FRONTEND DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIES (CONT..)
Javascript was invented by Brendan Eich in 1995.
Javascript is the Programming Language for the Web.
Javascript can update and change both HTML and CSS.
Javascript is responsible for the Functioning of the website.
It is a scripting language that enables us to create dynamically updating
content, control multimedia, animate images, and pretty much everything else.
It is also written in any text editor but add the .js extension.

BACK END DEVELOPMENT
Backend development controls what goes on behind the
scenes of the web applications.
It is also known as server side development.
Backend usually consists of three parts:
A server
An Application
A Database
Users can’t see how the backend works but this code is what
communicates the database information to the browser.
Common Backend development technologies are:
SQL
PHP
BACKEND DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIES
SQL stands for Structured Query Language.
SQL let us access and manipulate databases.
SQL became a standard of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) in 1986, and of the International Organization
for standardization (ISO) in 1987.
SQL is a database language, it is used for database creation,
deletion, fetching rows, and modifying rows, etc.
It can retrieve data and executes queries against the database.
Every website is supported by a database at the backend. Each
time a user submits information or searches something in the
website, data gets stored and retrived from the database. SQL
is the language for qurying and storing data in the database.
BACKEND DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIES (CONT..)
PHP is an acronym for “PHP: Hypertext
Preprocessor”.
PHP is a widely-used, open source scripting
language.
PHP scripts are executed on the server.
PHP is free to download and use.
PHP is a server side scripting language that is
embedded in HTML.
It is used to manage dynamic content, databases,
session tracking, even build entire e-commerce
sites.
WHO IS A WEB DEVELOPER ?
A web developer is a programmer who specializes in the development
of World Wide Web applications using a client–server model.
The applications typically use HTML, CSS and JavaScript in the
client, PHP, C#, Python, Node.js or Java in the server, and http for
communications between client and server.
Web developers typically do the following:
Meet with clients or management to discuss the needs and design of a website.
Create and test applications for a website.
Write code for the website, using programming languages such as HTML, CSS,
etc.
Work with other team members to determine what information the site will
contain.
Work with graphics and other designers to determine the website's layout.
Integrate graphics, audio, and video into the website.
Monitor website traffic.
TYPES OF WEB DEVELOPER
There are 3 kinds of Web Developers –
Front End Developer,
Back End Developer and,
Full Stack Developer.
Front-End Developer :-They are responsible for how a website looks.
They create the site's layout and integrate graphics, applications (such as
a retail checkout tool), and other content. They also write web design
programs in a variety of computer languages, such as HTML or
JavaScript.
Back-End Developer :- They are responsible for server-side web
application logic and integration of the work front-end developers do.
Full-Stack Developer :- A full-stack web developer is a person who
can develop both client and server software. They perform the task of
both Front end and Back End Developer.
