Terms like front-end and back-end development may be confusing to someone who is new to the world of coding and software engineering. Let’s clear up some of the ambiguity around some of these technical phrases. We’ll explain the differences between the front-end and back-end.
Today, we’re addressing the following issues and demystifying the distinctions between development styles:
Front-end developers create with the user in mind. Front-end development is a type of computer programming that focuses on the coding and building of website/app parts and functionality that will be visible to the user. It is focused on ensuring that the aesthetic parts of a mobile application are functioning.
Back-end functionality in mobile apps can sometimes be stored locally rather than on the server. These programs are generally offline, which means they may be downloaded and used without an internet connection. In this case, mobile developers would be responsible for both the front-end and the back-end.
Consider the front-end to be the “client-side” of an application. Assume you’re a front-end developer. This implies that your job is to code and bring the visual parts of a mobile app to life. You’d be more concerned with what a person sees when they visit a website or utilize an app. You’d also want to make sure the user interface (UI) is simple to use and runs properly, and that the user experience (UX) is desirable.
These developers bring the visual concepts created by UX and UI designers to life, ensuring that the website or an app performs properly for the user.
Things front-end developers do:
Back-end development deals with the aspect of the website that visitors do not see. It is what allows a website to be interactive. The back-end of a website is sometimes known as the “server side.”
Assume you own and operate a social networking platform. You’ll need a convenient location to save all of your users’ information. A database is a type of storage center, and some popular examples are Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL. A database is managed by a server, which is effectively a remote computer. A back-end developer will assist in the management of this database and the site information stored on it. This guarantees that your social networking website’s front-end features continue to function properly when visitors view posted material and other user profiles.
While visitors do not directly contact the back-end of a website, they will interact with things that these developers are working on via a front-end application. Back-end development is concerned with storing and organizing data while also ensuring that the front-end works properly.
Things front-end developers do:
A programming language will be used while you code. These languages, like human languages, enable programmers to communicate with their computers using a set of symbols (referred to as code). Simply explained, it’s the same as giving your computer instructions. Front-end developers use programming languages such as XML, Kotlin, and Swift for mobile development, and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for web development.
Front-end developers use their own frameworks and libraries. A front-end developer could deal with the following frameworks and libraries:
PHP, C++, Java, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, and Node.js are some of the languages used by back-end developers. Here’s some more information about a handful of these languages:
Back-end frameworks include the following:
Front-end development is a branch of programming that focuses on the visual parts of a website or app with which a user would interact (the client side). Meanwhile, back-end development is concerned with the aspect of a website and app that visitors do not see (the server side). They collaborate to develop dynamic websites and apps that allow users to make purchases, use contact forms, and engage in any other interactive activities while perusing a site. Netflix, PayPal, Facebook, Youtube, etc. are all instances of dynamic websites/apps.

Time flies, doesn’t it? You’ve probably heard this phrase quite often, especially in the business world. It’s a sentiment we’ve been expressing a lot in the past month as we celebrated the fifth birthday of Crystal Pigeon. We won’t talk too much on this topic, but we feel the need to express our gratitude and […]

Kotlin multiplatform (KMP) is a technology that allows developers to write code in the Kotlin programming language that can be shared and used across multiple platforms, such as Android, iOS, web and desktop. This means that developers can write a single codebase in Kotlin and use it to build applications for different platforms, without the […]
