Backend and frontend

The backend of a web development project is responsible for the server-side of the application, including the database, security, and any other back-end processes.

The frontend is responsible for the client-side of the application, including the user interface, interactivity, and any other front-end processes.

Backend

The backend developer must have a strong understanding of server-side technologies such as Python, PHP, Ruby on Rails, or Node.js.

They must also be able to work with databases such as MySQL or MongoDB. In addition to these technical skills, they must also be able to communicate effectively with the frontend developers and understand their needs.

Frontend

The frontend developer must have a strong understanding of client-side technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. They should also be familiar with frameworks such as AngularJS or ReactJS. In addition to these technical skills, they must also be able to communicate effectively with the backend developers and understand their needs.

Python for webdev?

If you work with Python, a common choice is Flask for the backend. Flask is a microframework for creating web applications in Python.

It includes everything you need to get started, such as a development server and built-in debuggers. Flask is also very lightweight, which makes it perfect for developing smaller applications or prototypes.

Typically the frontend communicates with the backend using an API. An API can be created in Python and many other languages.
