The Multiple Dynamics of Front-End & Backend Development.
Introduction
If you’re not familiar with app development, it’s probably because you’ve never needed one. Maybe you’ve been busy working on your next game or website and don’t need an app for that. However, if you’re like most people who have day jobs in IT and have some spare time (or even a spare hour or two), then it’s worth knowing about the world of app development.
Background
App development is the process of creating software applications. It is also referred to as “software development” or “web programming.”
The term app has become popular in recent years, with many apps being developed using frameworks like AngularJS and ReactJS. These frameworks allow developers to create complex web applications quickly and efficiently by providing them with pre-written code for common features such as navigation, user authentication, database management and more.
What is front-end development
The front-end is the part of your app that users see. It’s what they interact with and make decisions about, so it needs to be well designed and functional. Front-end developers are responsible for making sure this happens, which means they work closely with designers throughout the design process.
Front-end developers use HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and JavaScript to build websites or web applications as well as mobile apps—and sometimes even desktop applications!
What is back-end development
Back-end development is the process of building and maintaining software that runs on servers. It’s usually a part of other development processes, such as front-end or mobile app development, but it can be done in isolation as well.
A server is a computer that stores and processes information for other computers connected to it via internet or local networks. Servers are often used to host websites and applications, but they’re also used for hosting virtual machines (VM), desktop applications, web services and more.
A database typically refers to an organized collection of data stored in one place so that users can access it easily from multiple locations on different devices at once—and with lots of features! We’ll look at how databases work later on this blog post series too…
What language should I choose?
One of the most important decisions you will have to make when building an app is what language you want to use. There are many advantages and disadvantages of each language, so it’s important that you choose the one that fits your needs best. There are many factors involved in choosing a framework or language, including:
- The popularity of each framework/language on Github compared to others (e.g., React vs Vue)
- How easy or difficult it is for developers who already know JavaScript/HTML5/CSS3/etc., but don’t know much about APIs (e.g., Facebook GraphQL)
Job Title
You might be wondering what the difference is between a front-end developer, back-end developer and mobile developer. Let’s break it down.
- Front-end Developer: A front-end developer is responsible for building the user interface of an application. The code they write will be used by other developers to create functionality that interacts with users, such as showing them content on their screen and allowing them to interact with that content in some way (e.g., clicking on something).
- Back-End Developer: A back end developer writes code behind the scenes that powers applications like Facebook or Instagram; this includes things like databases and APIs (a type of programmatic interface). When you use a service like Uber or Lyft through their app, these are all built by back end developers! They may also work directly with designers when building interfaces for those apps too!
- Mobile App Developer: Mobile app developers build apps for smartphones or tablets in order to make them available on both Apple iOS devices as well as Android systems worldwide – which means there are two kinds here: native mobile apps (which run only on one platform) vs hybrid/cross platform hybrid apps which run equally well across multiple platforms simultaneously.”
So, who does what in app development?
In app development, a lot of responsibility falls upon the developer whos handling what on their side
- Front-end developers are responsible for the look and feel of the app. They will work with designers to create wireframes and mockups, then they’ll create a prototype using HTML/CSS/JavaScript or any other relevant technologies. Front-end developers should also be able to implement their designs into code using frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation.
- Back-end developers are responsible for the back-end logic of your application — including database structure, authentication mechanisms (such as cookies), routing rules etc., so if you’re building an ecommerce website where customers can purchase products from within your site’s dashboard then these types of features will be handled by them rather than front-end folks who would just focus on making sure everything looks nice and works smoothly on mobile devices first before worrying about scale issues with multiple users accessing data simultaneously from one website address at once…
Just like any other job in the IT world, the more you know, the better.
Just like any other job in the IT world, the more you know, the better. The more you learn, the better. The more you understand and apply what you know from your previous experiences—the better.
This is why it’s important to be able to do everything from front-end development (HTML/CSS/JS) to backend development (PHP/MySQL).
Conclusion
In short, app development is a complex task that requires specialists to carry it out. There are many things you need consider when deciding on the type of app you want to develop, such as its functionality and appearance. But at the end of the day, if you know what your business needs and how much time you have available for this project then everything will fall into place!
