Web Development

Web Development refers to the tasks associated with building, creating, and maintaining websites and web applications. It encompasses a range of activities, including web design, web content development, client-side/server-side scripting, and network security configuration. Web development can be divided into three main categories:

1. **Front-end Development**: This involves the part of the website that users interact with directly. Front-end developers use languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the visual layout and functionalities of a site.

2. **Back-end Development**: This pertains to the server-side of a website, which users do not see. Back-end developers work with server, application, and database to manage and store data, typically using languages such as PHP, Python, Ruby, and frameworks like Node.js.

3. **Full-Stack Development**: Full-stack developers are versed in both front-end and back-end development, allowing them to handle the complete process of website and web application development.

Web development also includes principles of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design to ensure that websites are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.
