Creation of a website involves three types of web developer specialization: front-end web developer, back-end web developer, full-stack web developer.

Front-end web development

It is also known as client-side development.it involves using HTML, CSS, Javascript, bootstrap, and lot more for developing the front end of the website. The main objective of this front end development is to make it easy for a user to interact and use.

Back-end web development

It is also known as server-side development.it involves coding implementation hidden from the outside world for security purpose.it is used to provide the functionality to the web page.it also use databases like MongoDB, SQL, Postgresql many tools are used in developing the back-end of the website like Node.js, Django, flask, python, ruby on rails e.t.c.understanding of front-end is must for developing back-end.

Full-stack web development

It is a combination of both front-end and back-end web developers. those people who can develop software and website for both client and server are known as a full-stack web developer. main advantages of a full stack web developer are to switch between front-end and back-end based on requirements.

Tools to start developing the front-end website

There are many other libraries/framework to use in front-end like Angular, Vue, React, Ember and more to better manage the codebase.

Tools to Start Developing the Back-End
