Web development involves creating interactive, functional websites and web applications. There are two core aspects of web development: frontend (client-side) and backend (server-side).
Frontend Development:
Frontend focuses on what users see and interact with on the web, using technologies like:
- HTML5/CSS3: For layout and styling.
- JavaScript (React, Vue, Angular): For interactive UI elements.
Backend Development:
Backend handles server-side logic, data processing, and database interactions using languages like:
- PHP: Widely used for content management systems like WordPress.
- Node.js/Express.js: JavaScript-based runtime for scalable, high-performance applications.
Trends:
- Progressive Web Apps (PWA): Websites with native app-like features.
- Single Page Applications (SPA): Dynamic, fast-loading web applications using JavaScript frameworks.
