WEB DEVELOPMENT

Hey connections... This is an article on web development.

Web development refers to the creating, building, and maintaining of websites. It includes aspects such as web design, web publishing, web programming, and database management. It is the creation of an application that works over the internet i.e. websites.

Web development is the work involved in developing a website for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network).[1] Web development can range from developing a simple single static page of plain text to complex web applications, electronic businesses, and social network services. A more comprehensive list of tasks to which Web development commonly refers, may include Web engineering, Web design, Web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, Web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development.

Among Web professionals, "Web development" usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building Web sites: writing markup and coding.Web development may use content management systems (CMS) to make content changes easier and available with basic technical skills.

For larger organizations and businesses, Web development teams can consist of hundreds of people (Web developers) and follow standard methods like Agile methodologies while developing Web sites. Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting developer, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer or information systems technician. Web development may be a collaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated department. There are three kinds of Web developer specialization: front-end developer, back-end developer, and full-stack developer.Front-end developers are responsible for behavior and visuals that run in the user browser, while back-end developers deal with the servers.Since the commercialization of the Web, the industry has boomed and has become one of the most used technologies ever.

When you build a website, it’s a bit like designing a house. On the one hand, you want to look at painting the walls, installing the countertops, and laying the carpet. But beneath all that, you also need to lay out all the pipes and wires that enable your utilities to function.

Similarly, a website usually functions on two levels — front-end and back-end:

Front-end development refers to the surface-level elements, the things you can see: Page format, color schemes, and so on.

Back-end development is where you lay out all the behind-the-scenes, technical elements of your site. If your site features an image gallery, for example, you must store those image files somewhere — and back-end development is where you set up that storage space.

When you implement both front-end and back-end development on a website, it’s referred to as full-stack development.
