What distinguishes front-end development from back-end development? - Dan-Marius Sabău: Back-end development is the developement on the part of the website that is running on server and the front-end development is the public part of the website, the one the visitor sees and the one that is running on his computer.

 

HTML is the base of the website and CSS can make it look better adding it colors and some kind of interaction with the visitors. A link in the website menu or just another item that is changing the color when you are there (on that web page in cases of links or a div or a text when you are moving your cursor over it) looks better, right? A designer (not a programmer because they are not programming languages) can use both HTML and CSS to build websites that look great but a programmer can generate the HTML on server-side (back-end) using a programming language like PHP, Python or Java and that person can also use Javascript in the front-end to make the web pages even more interactive for the visitor.
