Web development refers to the creation and maintenance of websites and web applications that run on the internet. It can be broadly categorized into three main areas: front-end, back-end, and full-stack development.

Front-end development focuses on the client side of web development. It involves creating the visual aspect of a web-site or web application that users interact with directly. This includes: HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc.
Example: When you visit a website and see a well-designed page with images, text, and buttons that respond to your actions, you are interacting with the front end.
Back-end development focuses on the server side of web development. It involves managing the server, database, and application logic that power the front end. Common server-side language include Node.js, Python, Ruby, PHP and Java.
Example: When you submit a form on a website and the data is stored in a database or processed by a server, you are interacting with the back end.
Full-stack development involves working on both the front end and back end of a web application. A full stack developer has knowledge and skills in both areas and can build complete web application from start to finish.
