eli5 What is the difference between “Front End” developers and “Back End” developers?
In: Technology
Front End = stuff that faces the user. That’s graphics, client-side code, displaying data or communicating with other software.
Back End = the “behind the scenes”. Databases, handling search queries, managing users, etc., and everything else that’s hidden from view.
They use different languages, priorities and techniques, so it’s common for people to specialize on one job.
