Building a Web Application.

In building Web Applications we should know the 2 parts of a Web Application, which are:

Frontend : in abstract, the frontend of a web application is simply the visible part of the application (User Interface) and more in-depth look is the feel (User Experience) of the web application. The person in charge of this part is called a Frontend Developer.
Backend : this is the logical part of the whole web application system, it is the more critical part of a web app. This include Payment Processing, User Data handling , A.P.I creation(resources meant to be accessed by mobile phones for the Mobile version of the particular web app or other software like Desktop apps.), Frontend integration and so on...
A backend developer handles all data coming from the frontend and the data is being processed, stored, or returned back as information to the user in the Frontend.

Note: Frontend, Backend and FullStack terminologies in Web Application are also applicable in other Software Development Areas such as Mobile Application.
