What is a front end and back end developer?

A front end developer or a client side developer interacts with the front or the visible part of the website and is responsible for displaying the data and content in an appealing and neat manner. A front end developer requires a particular set of skills and knowledge to provide not just a seamless user experience to the viewers, but also to analyze code, design and debug applications.



A back end developer focuses on the working of the website at the back end, the part that is hidden for the viewers, but not to the developers or the admin. The main job of a back end developer is to monitor functionality of the website and to maintain the technology that powers the components which enable the front end to exist in the first place, along with making updates and changes to the site and with performing the testing and debugging of any back end application
