Frontend vs Backend Development

A web application consists of two parts: Frontend and Backend. These components work together seamlessly to create an optimal user experience.

Frontend

The Frontend refers to the visible part of a website or application that users directly interact with. It encompasses the user interface and experience, allowing users to intuitively view and interact with content.

Key responsibilities of the Frontend include:

  • Displaying content in an appealing and user-friendly manner;
  • Handling user input, such as form submissions and clicks on interactive elements;
  • Providing an intuitive interface that allows users to navigate and interact effortlessly.

Backend

On the other hand, the Backend is responsible for the server-side logic and handles data and requests from the Frontend. Operating behind the scenes, it powers the entire application.

Key responsibilities of the Backend include:

  • Managing servers that host the application and handle incoming requests from users;
  • Running data storage and retrieval through databases;
  • Executing application logic to process user requests and produce responses.

Note

The primary distinction between Frontend and Backend lies in their roles within the web application. The Frontend pertains to what users see and interact with, while the Backend handles the hidden behind-the-scenes functionality that enables the application to function smoothly.
