WEB DEVELOPING METHOD

WEB DEVELOPING

FRONT-END-DEVELOPING

Front end web developers use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to code the website and web app designs created by web designers. The code they write runs inside the user’s browser (as opposed to a back end developer, whose code runs on the web server). Think of it a little like this: the back end developer is like the engineer who designs and creates the systems that make a city work (electricity, water and sewer, zoning, etc.), while the front end developer is the one who lays out the streets and makes sure everything is connected properly so people can live their lives (a simplified analogy, but you get the rough idea). A front end web developer is also in charge of making sure that there are no errors or bugs on the front end, as well as making sure that the design appears as it’s supposed to across various platforms and browsers.

BACK-END-DEVELOPING

 Back-end developers are responsible for and focus on the inner workings of web applications to build out the "server-side" of web applications. Server-side is the code and language that runs behind the scenes on the web server or the back-end. The front-end is the client side, and front-end developers are charged with creating the experience on the client side.

Back-end developers work hand-in-hand with front-end developers by providing the outward facing web application elements server-side logic. In other words, backend developers create the logic to make the web app function properly, and they accomplish this through the use of server-side scripting languages like Ruby or PHP.

Aside from making web applications functional, backend developers are also responsible for optimizing the application for speed and efficiency.

HTML & CSS

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the most basic building blocks of web coding. Without these two things, you can’t create a website design, and all you’ll end up with is unformatted plain text on the screen. You can’t even add images to a page without HTML!

Before you get started on any web development career path, you’ll have to master coding with HTML and CSS. The good news is that getting a solid working knowledge of either of these can be done in just a few weeks.

The best part: HTML and CSS knowledge alone will let you build basic websites.

JavaScript

JavaScript lets you add a ton more functionality to your websites. You can even create a lot of basic web applications using nothing more than HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (JS for short). On the most basic level, JS lets you add a lot of interactive elements to your websites. Use it to create things like maps that update in real time, interactive films, and online games. Sites like Pinterest use JavaScript heavily to make their user interface so easy to use (the fact that the page doesn’t reload whenever you pin something is thanks to JavaScript!).

It’s also the most popular programming language in the world, so regardless of your dev career plans, it’s a super valuable thing to learn.

jQuery

jQuery is a JavaScript library: a collection of plugins and extensions that makes developing with JavaScript faster and easier. Rather than having to code everything from scratch, jQuery lets a front end web developer add ready-made elements to projects, then customize as necessary (one reason why knowing JavaScript is so important). You can use jQuery for things like countdown timers, search form autocomplete, and even automatically-rearranging and resizing grid layouts.

Responsive and Mobile Design

In the US alone, more people access the internet from their mobile device than from a desktop computer, so it’s no wonder that responsive and mobile design skills are super important to employers. Responsive design means that the site’s layout (and sometimes functionality and content) change based on the screen size and device someone is using.

For example, when a website is visited from a desktop computer with a big monitor, a user would get multiple columns, big graphics, and interaction created specifically for mouse and keyboard users. On a mobile device, the same website would appear as a single column optimized for touch interaction, but using the same base files.

Mobile design can include responsive design, but also includes creating separate mobile-specific designs. Sometimes the experience you want a user to have when visiting your site on a desktop computer is entirely different than what you want them to see when visiting from their smartphone, and in those cases it makes sense for the mobile site to be completely different. A bank website with online banking, for example, would benefit from a separate mobile site that lets users view things like the closest bank location and a simplified account view (since mobile screens are smaller).

SERVER-SIDE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND FRAMEWORKS

Back-end developers use an array of programming languages and frameworks when building server-side software. They may choose a framework to suit their working style or a site’s specific requirements. They may also work with a language within a software stack. Popular back-end technology includes

Ruby: Great for building complicated logic on the database side of a site, Ruby bundles the back-end and database functionality that PHP and SQL can offer as a pair—it’s great for startups, easy maintenance, and high-traffic demands. It requires the Ruby on Rails framework, which has vast libraries of code to streamline back-end development. Ruby-powered sites: Hulu and Twitter 

Java: A subset of the C language, Java comes with a huge ecosystem of add-on software components. At its core, Java is a variation of C++ with an easier learning curve; what’s more, it’s platform-independent thanks to the Java Virtual Machine. “Compile once, run anywhere” is its motto—and it’s excellent for enterprise-level applications, high-traffic sites, and Android apps.

Frameworks include: Struts and Hibernate

C#: C# is an enhanced, second-generation version of the C language, one of the earliest back-end programming languages. C# is a general-purpose, object-oriented version specifically developed by Microsoft for the .NET Framework.

Python: With fewer lines of code, the Python language is fast, making it ideal for getting things to market quickly. The emphasis is on readability and simplicity, so it’s great for beginners. The oldest of the scripting languages, it is powerful and works well in object-oriented designs. Python-powered sites: YouTube, Google

Frameworks include: Django, Flask, and Pyramid

PHP: The most popular server-side language on the web, PHP is designed to pull and edit information in the database. It’s most commonly bundled with databases written in the SQL language. PHP is unique in that it was built for the web, not adapted for it, and remains the most widely used language on the web. PHP has a number of modern frameworks as well.

Perl: With 27 years of revisions and changes under its belt, Perl 5 is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted language powerful for programming database integration with Oracle, Sybase, MySQL, and more. It runs on more than 100 platforms and is—like Python and Ruby—object-oriented and open-source.

Erlang: A general-purpose programming language, Erlang is also a concurrent language, which means several processes can run simultaneously on the language-level without external library support. It’s used in the LYME and LYCE stacks, numerous CMS and databases, GitHub, and Goldman Sachs’s platform, supporting its high-frequency trading requirements.

Node.js: This breakthrough development environment, part of the JavaScript-powered MEAN stack, allows the front-end JavaScript language to be used in server-side applications with the Express.js framework
