WHAT IS WEB DEVELOPMENT?




Web development generally refers to the tasks associated with the development of websites intended to be hosted via an intranet or the Internet. The web development process includes, among other things, web site design, web content development, client or server side scripting and network security configuration.


Web development is the coding or programming that makes a website work, depending on the owner's requirements. It mainly deals with the non-conceptual aspect of website creation, which includes coding and writing markup.

Web development is the creation of pages in plain text to applications complex web, social networking applications and e-business applications.

In this article we will look at the types of web developers, and we will look at the debate between web design and web development. We will also discuss some of the most popular programming languages for web developers, including Python, JavaScript and HTML.


WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF A WEB DEVELOPER?


A web developer or programmer is someone who takes a web project, which has been thought and thought about by a client or design team, and turns it into a website. They do this by writing lines of complicated code. To write them, they use different languages ​​with specificity and utility for each of them. 

Web developers have a fairly difficult job, because they have to take a language we understand, like English, and translate it into a language that a computer understands, like Python or HTML .

As you can imagine, it will take a lot of time and effort to learn different programming languages ​​and their uses. Different types of developers specialize in different areas, which means that large web projects are usually a collaboration between several different developers.

THE 3 TYPES OF WEB DEVELOPMENT?


The three main types of developers are front-end, back-end and full-stack.

Front-end developers take care of the part of a website that people see and interact with.

Back-end developers are responsible for the code in the background. This code will be used to control how a website will load and run.

Full-stack developers do a little bit of everything.

The terms "front-end" and "back-end" are used in the programming profession to describe the layers of a website.


WHAT DOES "FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT" MEAN? HOW IT WORKS ?


A front-end developer will take over the design of the website and write the code necessary to implement it on the web. He must master at least three programming languages , HTML , CSS and JavaScript . He also has responsibilities in natural referencing ( SEO ), graphic design and editing of site images and photos. But also the different tests (usability and accessibility) as well as the performance of the website and its compatibility with the different browsers and display format (mobile, desktop) in other words "responsive design".

The different languages ​​used in front-end web development.


HTML lets you embed content into a website while dividing it into titles, paragraphs, and tables. It is an essential language. It tells the website what content to display and, to some extent, how to display it.
Commands such as "link", "image" or "video" tell your browser what to display, where to get content, and how to display it.

CSS is used in conjunction with HTML. While HTML tells the web page what content to display, CSS tells the web page how to display the content - it's a " style " language. It will notably allow the change of colors, fonts, the positioning of the elements as well as the change of text size.

JavaScript is all about making your website responsive, interactive, and engaging for your visitors. A JavaScript developer will work on snippets of JavaScript code, which will often be incorporated into the HTML source code of a website. Although it has always been a front-end language, JavaScript is also becoming more and more popular for mainstream development.


WHAT DOES "BACK-END DEVELOPMENT" MEAN? HOW IT WORKS ?


While front-end developers are responsible for client-side programming, back-end developers must deal with the server side .
This means that they have to create the code and the programs that feed the website server, the databases and all the applications that the website contains. They use a wide range of different server-side languages ​​to build complicated programs.

Among the most used languages ​​are PHP, Python, Java and Ruby, while SQL is commonly used to manage and analyze data in website databases.

The speed of a website being a major consideration when it comes to search engine optimization (SEO), it is an important factor when developing the back-end.

The different languages ​​used in back-end web development.


PHP has dominated the definitions of what web development is. Known as the language of the internet, it is currently used in one form or another on over 80% of existing websites. PHP is very popular with developers. Especially on websites built on platforms like WordPress. PHP plays a particularly important role in WordPress development.

This language allows you to do things like dialog boxes that open on a screen in response to a user's actions. But also chatbots responding to the defined behavior of the user with corresponding messages. Or an animation that occurs when a user scrolls past a certain point on a page. That is, all of the dynamic website functions that must occur on the screen without the user having to manually reload a site.

Python is a high-level object-oriented programming language used primarily for the development of websites and applications. It is a general purpose programming language, which is another way of saying that it can be used for almost anything. Most importantly, it is an interpreted language, which means that the written code is not actually translated into a computer readable format at runtime.

The most basic use case for Python is a scripting and automation language. It is also used to automate interactions with web browsers or graphical application interfaces.

Java is an old language that is popular for a variety of different programming uses. From a web development perspective, Java is used to create responsive and scalable web applications that are used for rapid web design.

Ruby is the most used to create web applications. However, it is a general purpose language similar to Python, so it has many other applications like data analysis, prototyping and proof of concepts. The ruby ​​language will save time and effort, which will speed up the completion of the project without sacrificing its functionality.

All these languages ​​will make it possible to achieve and ensure scalability and availability of the network as well as database management, their backups, their transformations and their cyber security.


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEB-DESIGN AND WEB-DEVELOPMENT?


Website design and web development are two different things, but of course it depends on how you define "design" and "development". It takes different knowledge to understand what a website designer is and what a website developer is. These professions are different and they have the following roles:

The web designer is the person who is responsible for creating the concept of the website. He can decide that the site must have a certain color, a certain content and specific pages. He is an expert in computer graphics, and has great technical skills to create logos and videos. It tells the developer where these items should be placed on the web page. However, they do not participate in the construction of the website or the underlying code.

The web developer takes the designer's concepts and creates the code. It uses the different technologies and resources previously seen to transform and design an idea into a website, and make it available to people like you.
