Introduction to Web Development

Web development refers to the work involved in developing websites for the Internet or an
intranet. This includes web design, web content development, client-side/server-side scripting,
and network security configuration.

There are two main areas:

●​ Front-End Development: The part users interact with directly.​

●​ Back-End Development: The server, application, and database that power the website.​

2. Front-End Technologies

●​ HTML (HyperText Markup Language):​


The backbone of web pages. HTML defines the structure and content of a webpage
using tags and elements.​

●​ CSS (Cascading Style Sheets):​


Controls the presentation and layout of the web pages. CSS can manage colors, fonts,
spacing, and responsiveness.​

●​ JavaScript:​
Adds dynamic behavior and interactivity. Examples include form validation, animations,
and asynchronous data loading.​

3. Back-End Technologies

●​ Server-Side Languages:​
Languages such as PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, and Node.js that handle the business
logic.​

●​ Databases:​
Storage systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB to store and retrieve data.​

●​ APIs (Application Programming Interfaces):​


Interfaces allowing communication between different software systems, enabling
functionalities like payment processing, social media integration, etc.​

4. Web Development Workflow

●​ Planning: Defining project goals and requirements.​

●​ Design: Wireframing and creating mockups.​

●​ Development: Writing front-end and back-end code.​

●​ Testing: Checking for bugs, usability, and performance issues.​

●​ Deployment: Publishing the website on a web server.​

●​ Maintenance: Ongoing updates and improvements.​

5. Key Concepts

●​ Responsive Design:​
Ensuring websites work well on all device sizes (mobile, tablet, desktop).​

●​ Version Control:​
Using tools like Git to manage and track changes in code.​

●​ Security:​
Protecting websites against attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and
ensuring secure user authentication.​

6. Popular Tools & Frameworks

●​ Front-End: React.js, Vue.js, Angular​

●​ Back-End: Express.js, Django, Laravel​

●​ Database Management: phpMyAdmin, MongoDB Compass​


●​ Development Environments: Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text​

Summary

Web development is a dynamic field requiring a balance of design and technical skills.
Mastering front-end and back-end technologies is essential to build efficient, user-friendly, and
secure websites.
