Two of those common concepts are Front End and Back End. For the sake of completeness, we add the term Full Stack to that. What is the difference?
What is front-end?
In this case, we take the example of a website. In order for it to work properly, the front end and back end come together. The word front end, in India front, already speaks to the imagination. The front end of the website is what the user sees, and everything the user sees is under the front end.
First of all, a web design is made, which is converted into a real website by a front-end developer. They do this by means of programming languages such as JavaScript, HTML or CSS. By using these languages, a link can easily be made later with the back end of the website. Simply put, a front-end developer ensures that the design comes to life and turns it into a functional website.
What is a back-end developer?
The back end, i.e. the back, ensures that the front end works. A back-end developer works in programming languages, also called code. By means of this code, the back-end developer ensures that all processes that the user does not see run optimally.
Suppose you are going to order something from a webshop. You view your product and then drop it into your shopping cart. That’s where the back end starts. Placing a product in a shopping cart is a process. Then you place an order. This order must arrive at the back office of the seller. Another important process, in which the back end ensures that the order arrives at the seller properly and quickly.
The back end is not visible to the user, but not always to the admin of a website. The invisible process is what is arranged in the back end. These processes are extremely important for the optimal functioning of your website.
What does a full-stack developer do?
If we make the combination between the front-end and back-end, you will automatically encounter the word ‘full stack’. The full-stack developer is the jack of all trades because he or she can develop both the front end and back end. An all-rounder with very broad knowledge. Great for companies where few developers can sit, but for truly specialist work it remains better to actually deploy specialists. An all-around full stack developer knows a lot, but of course, cannot know everything about everything.
