Nope. They both play very important roles in web development.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the part our dog-treat customers will see first.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-frontend-development\">2. What is frontend development?<\/h2>\n<p>The frontend of a website is what you see and interact with on your browser. Also referred to as client-side, it includes everything the user experiences directly: from text and colors to buttons, images, and navigation menus.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you decide to start a business. You open a gourmet dog treat bakery, and need a professional website to present your company to customers and tell them where you\u2019re located.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you\u2019ll include a few photos and some information about your products. All you need are <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/frontend-developer-skills\/\">frontend skills<\/a> to build your website.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-much-do-frontend-developers-earn\">How much do frontend developers earn?<\/h3>\n<p>The average frontend developer salary in the United States is an impressive <strong>$95,577<\/strong>, according to our <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/frontend-developer-salary-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">frontend developer salary guide<\/a>,<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the answer varies based on where you&#8217;re located in the world, which skills you have, as well as your experience.<\/p>\n<p>However, you should expect to earn comfortably above average. In fact, frontend developers can expect to earn almost<strong> double the national average salary<\/strong> in countries such as the U.S. and Australia.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-are-the-main-frontend-development-languages\">What are the main frontend development languages?<\/h3>\n<p>These three languages should do the trick:<\/p>\n<h4>HTML<\/h4>\n<p>HTML is the fundamental coding markup language that creates and organizes web content so it can be displayed by a browser. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/tutorials\/web-development-for-beginners\/introduction-to-html\/\">learn more about HTML in our beginner&#8217;s guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"css\">CSS<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/tutorials\/web-development-for-beginners\/an-introduction-to-css-and-responsive-webpages\/\">CSS is a language that accompanies HTML<\/a>, and defines the style of a website\u2019s content, such as layout, colors, fonts, etc.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"javascript\">JavaScript<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/tutorials\/web-development-for-beginners\/an-introduction-to-javascript\/\">JavaScript is a programming language<\/a> used for more interactive elements like drop down menus, modal windows, and contact forms.<\/p>\n<p>Together these essentials create everything that\u2019s visually presented when you visit a webpage. They&#8217;re known as the building blocks of the internet, and for good reason!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"frontend-tools\">Other frontend tools<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to basic languages, you\u2019ll come across other tools to make frontend development easier and more powerful, such as frameworks and libraries.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/responsiveness-with-a-front-end-framework\/\">web frameworks<\/a> and frontend libraries is simply to make code (and the process of writing it) more manageable and organized by providing various tools and templates compatible with common coding languages.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some popular frontend frameworks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/what-is-bootstrap-a-beginners-guide\/\">Bootstrap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/django-framework-guide\/\">Django<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Angular<\/li>\n<li>Express<\/li>\n<li>Svelte<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also probably be using <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/programming-library-guide\/\">JavaScript libraries<\/a> like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/javascript-vs-jquery-whats-the-difference\/\">jQuery<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/what-is-reactjs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">React<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Vue.js<\/li>\n<li>Redux<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to these, any frontend developer with an eye for design will be employing <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/css-preprocessors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSS preprocessors<\/a> such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SASS<\/li>\n<li>LESS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There\u2019s a long list of resources like these, with a range of different tools for each language and potential function. If you want a solid overview of the pathways, <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en-US\/docs\/Learn\/Front-end_web_developer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mozilla Developer Network<\/a> have a solid learning pathway mapped out.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-frontend-development-and-web-design\">What is the difference between frontend development and web design?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that, although client-side development deals with the visual and interactive side of a website, <strong>it&#8217;s not the same as <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/what-is-the-difference-between-a-web-developer-and-a-web-designer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">web design<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Frontend developers don\u2019t actually design these front-facing aspects of a website\u2014this is the job of a web designer, or more specifically, a <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/ui-design\/what-does-a-ui-designer-actually-do\/\">UI designer<\/a>. The frontend developer takes this design and builds it into something functional using the languages I talked about above.<\/p>\n<p>So, web designers are concerned with <strong>design:<\/strong>\u00a0the look and feel of the website, how it\u2019s laid out, and what buttons and touchpoints the user experiences. Frontend developers are concerned with <strong>functionality:<\/strong>\u00a0the engineering that transforms these designs into a live, interactive website.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32139 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/web-developer-coding-backend-1.jpg\" alt=\"A JavaScript developer working on her code.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"650\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/web-developer-coding-backend-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/web-developer-coding-backend-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/web-developer-coding-backend-1-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/web-developer-coding-backend-1-768x416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"behind-the-scenes\"><strong>Behind the scenes at the dog treat bakery&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fast forward a few months. Your business website looks great, and the gourmet dog treat bakery has become incredibly successful. Now customers want to buy large quantities of goodies for their furry friends, and start asking if they can order online.<\/p>\n<p>So you decide to open an online store where people can shop and place orders anytime. This means your site will now have to store information about products, purchases, user profiles, credit cards, and more.<\/p>\n<p>How will you manage this data so you can start delivering treats? This is where backend development comes in.<\/p>\n<p>So far, what you have is an example of a <strong>static website<\/strong>\u2014its content doesn\u2019t really change much. For static sites, all the necessary information that determines what\u2019s on the web page is in the frontend code itself.<\/p>\n<p>Static websites are good for showcasing things like businesses, restaurants, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/web-developer-portfolio\/\">web development portfolios<\/a>, or professional profiles. But if you want to turn your site into something that users can interact with, you\u2019ll need to get more in-depth concerning what\u2019s going on behind the scenes of the website.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where backend development comes into play. Let&#8217;s learn about it now!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-backend-development\">3. What is backend development?<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>backend<\/strong> (or \u201cserver side\u201d) is the portion of the website you don\u2019t see. It\u2019s responsible for storing and organizing data, and ensuring everything on the client-side actually works.<\/p>\n<p>The backend communicates with the frontend, sending and receiving information to be displayed as a web page.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you fill out a contact form, type in a web address, or make a purchase (any user interaction on the client-side), your browser sends a request to the server side, which returns information in the form of frontend code that the browser can interpret and display.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about what these kinds of software engineer do in <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/backend-developer-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our full backend developer guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Your new dog treat site will need to have additional backend components to make it a <strong>dynamic web application<\/strong>\u2014a website whose content can change based on what is in its <strong>database<\/strong>, and that can be modified by user input.<\/p>\n<p>This is distinct from a static website, which doesn\u2019t require a database because its content generally stays the same.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-much-do-frontend-developers-earn\">How much do backend developers earn?<\/h3>\n<p>The average total salary for a backend developer in the United States is roughly <strong>$103,772<\/strong>, according to job site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/us-backend-developer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,2_IN1_KO3,20.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glassdoor<\/a>. The same conditions apply as for frontend devs, where this salary varies based on different factors.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"server-side-set-up\">Backend setup<\/h3>\n<p>Your website needs a database to manage all the customer and product information.<\/p>\n<p>A database stores website content in a structure that makes it easy to retrieve, organize, edit, and save data. It runs on a remote computer called a <strong>server<\/strong>. (This is why backend development is sometimes referred to as server-side development.)<\/p>\n<p>There are many different databases that are widely used, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>MySQL<\/li>\n<li>SQL Server<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/data-analytics\/what-is-postgresql\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PostgreSQL<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Oracle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"backend-languages\">Backend languages<\/h3>\n<p>Your app will still contain frontend code, but it also has to be built using a language that a database can recognize. Some common backend languages include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ruby<\/li>\n<li>PHP<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/python-real-examples\/\">Python<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Java<\/li>\n<li>.Net<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"backend-frameworks\">Backend frameworks<\/h3>\n<p>These programming languages often run on frameworks that simplify the web development process.<\/p>\n<p>Rails, for example, is a framework written in Ruby. The hence-named <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/should-i-learn-ruby-on-rails\/\">Ruby on Rails is a popular technology for building dynamic web apps<\/a> that makes the process much faster.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32140 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/experienced-web-developer-doing-backend-development.jpg\" alt=\"A backend developer reviewing on code quality.\" width=\"1108\" height=\"600\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/experienced-web-developer-doing-backend-development.jpg 1108w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/experienced-web-developer-doing-backend-development-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/experienced-web-developer-doing-backend-development-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/experienced-web-developer-doing-backend-development-768x416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1108px) 100vw, 1108px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Back to our dog treat website&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With all of these parts working together correctly, customers can visit your website and search for the particular kind of snack they want to buy\u2014perhaps they want to pull up a list of treats made especially for small puppies.<\/p>\n<p>When they type it into the search box (on the frontend), the application looks through all the product data stored in the database (backend), and returns the appropriate information in the form of frontend code that the browser displays as the user\u2019s requested list. Pretty neat, right?<\/p>\n<p>So now you\u2019ve got a dynamic <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/web-development\/what-is-the-difference-between-a-mobile-app-and-a-web-app\/\">web app<\/a> that makes use of frontend and backend technologies.<\/p>\n<p>You use frontend languages to make your website look great and easy to navigate.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the scenes, the backend holds together all the frontend components, and makes it possible to do things like store purchase history and product details, create secure editable user accounts, and more.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, both sides have very different roles, and that&#8217;s why there&#8217;s a frontend vs backend debate. But <strong>it\u2019s the two working together<\/strong> that ultimately defines user experience and makes it possible for a website to function at all.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-i-learn-frontend-or-backend-development-or-both\">4.
