Good article!
I would like to suggest a bit simpler definition though:

Front is everything that's visible, like a shopwindow in front of the store.

Back is everything that's behind it, like a storage room in the back of the store.

And there's also the hardware part: one or several computers that serve the clients, like a store worker, each doing it's own part.

Servers and clients communicate in a very strict manner, following a protocol.

Thank you and good luck!

That is a simpler way to put it up! Thank you Valerie. 🖤
