Web Development

Web Development refers to the process of building and maintaining websites and web applications. It encompasses various aspects, including web design, web content development, client-side and server-side scripting, network security configuration, and database management. Web development can be divided into three main categories:

1. **Frontend Development**: This involves creating the visual and interactive aspects of a website that users interact with directly, using technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

2. **Backend Development**: This focuses on the server-side of a website, dealing with the databases, server logic, and application programming interfaces (APIs) that work behind the scenes to manage user requests and data processing. Languages used include PHP, Python, Ruby, and Java.

3. **Full-Stack Development**: This includes both frontend and backend development, allowing developers to work on all aspects of a web application.

Web development is essential for businesses and individuals to establish an online presence, facilitate e-commerce, provide information, and create interactive user experiences.
