Overview

Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites and web applications. It involves a combination of design, coding, and deployment to create a user-friendly, functional, and secure online experience. Understanding how the web works is essential for any developer. This includes concepts like how browsers render websites, how servers handle requests, and how data flows between users and servers. Web development can be broken down into three main areas:

  • Frontend Development: Focuses on the visual aspects of the website that users interact with directly. It involves technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build responsive and engaging user interfaces.
  • Backend Development: Deals with the server-side of web development, including databases, server logic, and APIs. Backend developers use languages like Python, PHP, Ruby, Java, and frameworks like Node.js to create the functionality behind the scenes.
  • Full-Stack Development: Combines both frontend and backend development, giving developers the ability to build both the user interface and the server-side logic of web applications.

This section provides a structured path for becoming a full-stack web developer, covering topics from the basics of Git and web technologies to frontend frameworks, databases, and backend development.
