Frontend VS Backend
By Turki Aljrees at 31/03/2014
Get clear about the frontend and the backend of the web development
• The frontend usually consists of two parts:
1. the design
2. frontend development.
e.g. of The frontend Everything that you see when using the web is a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript all being controlled by your computer’s browser. These include things like fonts, drop-down menus, buttons, transitions, sliders, contact forms, etc.
• The backend usually consists of three parts:
1. a server
2. application
3. a database.
e.g. of The backend If you book a flight or buy concert tickets, you usually open a website and interact with the frontend. Once you’ve entered that information, the application stores it in a database that was created on a server. For sake of ease, just think about a database as a giant Excel spreadsheet on your computer, but your computer (server) is stored somewhere in Arizona.
