A Guide to Technology Stacks — From thesoftwareguild.com
In Web development, three stacks — front-end, back-end and full-stack
FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT
This type of software development involves all the parts of a website that a user can see and interact with. In designing a site, the goal of front-end developers is to make sure that the format is easy to read and navigate.
- HTML, the structure of a Web page that holds content such as text and media
- CSS, the styling of HTML elements that brings forth the design of a website
- JavaScript, the component that controls interaction on a page, such as having a “required” field on a contact form refuse to process unless it is filled in.
BACK-END DEVELOPMENT
Back-end development focuses on servers, applications and databases. Developers build and maintain the technology that powers those three components using a multitude of programming languages, libraries and other existing software. For complex websites that require features outside of front-end capabilities, back-end development is a necessity.
