Web development is the art of creating a website for users browsing on the Internet. As a front-end web developer, you will learn to implement the planned design on the web by making smart choices to code up pages and define user interactions. Web development refers to building, creating, and maintaining websites. It includes aspects such as web design, web publishing, web programming, and database management.
While the terms “web developer” and “web designer” are often used synonymously, they do not mean the same thing. Technically, a web designer only designs website interfaces using HTML and CSS. A web developer may be involved in designing a website, but may also write web scripts in languages such as PHP and ASP. Additionally, a web developer may help maintain and update a database used by a dynamic website.
