This post is the last of two chapter series of Web Development Fundamentals for Beginners. The first chapter was “Part 1: Frontend”.

T

he development of a web page, or anything else that is created from code, is split into front-end and back-end development. Front-end development is all the things that are visible to users, back-end development is basically everything else.

In this article, I’ll discuss the second one — Back end development, and introduce you to some of the most important scripting languages and databases in this area.

At the end of this article, you should be able to:

• Pursue your journey of becoming a Full Stack Developer.
• Explain what are the roles of Languages (Scripting & Compiled) and Databases (Relational & Non- Relational) in Back End Development.
• Be well versed with the terms you will come across in your Web Development Journey.

Your website deserves the best. After all, it is the internet advertising billboard for you and your company.

First, what is back-end development?

Back-end development in simple terms is all the things happening in the background that you cannot visibly see. It is mainly code that has to do with functionality and code that is being used to get data from databases. If the code is not providing any kind of user interface, it is usually considered as back-end development.
