Front end and Back end — What are the differences?

If you are wondering what the differences between front-end and back-end are, let’s travel back in 1989, when the invention of the website by Tim Berners-Lee become one of the most influential inventions of mankind.

What are the front-end and back-end exactly?

When you are accessing a website, you are not accessing everything of it but you are entering an interface whichever the website designers and front-end developers want it to look like instead.

Back-end elements, on the other hand, are at the server-side and responsible for what is actually happening when users interact with a site. In other words, users are not really interacting with things they see but are sending requests to the server and the database which contains data.

And front-end developers are the one who is responsible for the look of the website (the colors, the layout, and the design of it, etc.), which should follow the web designers’ design (or they can be web designers themselves). You might want to take a look at an amazing, stunning view of Designveloper’s website.

The differences between front-end and back-end

As mentioned above, we can clearly know the differences between their missions and features. However, there are some more differences that sometimes a front-end developer cannot work as a back-end developer and vice versa.

First of all, they have different points of view. Front-end developers care about the colors, the layout, the interface, and the graphic details of the site. Everything needs to be as same as the design as possible.

Everything needs to run as fast as possible, and that is exactly the main challenge for back-end developers. More importantly, a good back-end also knows how to reduce the capacity of the data. Also, front-end and back-end developers use different languages.

• Most of the time, front-end developers use languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These three are the main languages that a front-end developer needs to master before doing anything.
• Back-end developers use languages of the server-side such as Java. Java has been used for a long time because of its flexibility, it can be used to manage data, program games, and it is also supported a lot.

This is very important if the developers are working with a client. Everything should follow the client’s requirements. Also, if they are creating a site for themselves, it would be vital because the interface is the first thing users see after entering the web

Conclusion

As mentioned above, front-end and back-end have different points of view, languages, and missions. However, working as a team requires an understanding of each other. Front-end and back-end developers cannot work alone without the other.
