The difference between Front-End and Back-End is that Front-End refers to how a web page looks, while back-end refers to how it works.

You also think of Front-End as client-side and Back-End as server-side.

How can I learn Back-End?

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are used to create static websites.

To make the websites dynamic (databases, contact forms, user access, and so on) you need to use Back-End programming languages.

People who work with creating websites and web applications are called Front-End Developers.

People who work with creating applications are called Back-End Developers.

People who work with both Front-End and Back-End are called Fullstack Developers.
