Instructions: Explain The Following Items Below in Not Less Than 300 Words. Xgive Examples in Explaining

Frontend and backend refer to the two fundamental parts of web development. The frontend is what users see and interact with, like the graphical user interface. The backend is the underlying workings that users cannot see or interact with directly. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript make up the frontend and work together to determine the content, style, and interactivity of a website. HTML provides the content structure, CSS handles styling and presentation, and JavaScript provides interactivity. Together these three languages run in the browser to translate into the visual web page that users see.

 Frontend and Backend are the two most popular terms used in the web industry, but
the difference between the two is quite subtle. They are the two most fundamental
parts of software engineering that play a significant role in web development. Frontend
is what you see and interact with and backend is how all of it works. Frontend may refer
to the graphical user interface whereas backend is that part of the website you cannot
see or interact with. The two terms are very crucial to web development, but they are
very different from each other. While they are certainly distinctive terms each with its
own role, they are very much like two sides of the same coin. The functionality of a
website depends on each as a single unit interacting with each other. This article
explains the difference between the two.

 For some of us, the thought of designing a website from scratch can seem like a really
daunting task. The irony of it is that for most of us, websites form part of our daily life.
The same way the internet connects us, there are special web languages that work
together to make up the internet and the websites it contains. HTML, CSS and JavaScript
work together to form the front-end design of a website by applying information that
affects content, style and interactivity of a site.
So there’s more than just one web language?
There are many web languages available, however we’re just going to look at three of them.
They are HTML, CSS and JavaScript and they are considered to be the backbone of the web.
When it comes to web development there is front-end web development and back end-web
development. These three languages are for front-end web development and are responsible
for what you can see and do on a website. They are referred to as client side languages as they
run in the browser (Google Chrome, Firefox etc.) of your computer. The browser translates
these languages and the result of this translation is the visual web page.
It’s important to note HTML and CSS are not considered to be programming languages. HTML
is a markup language and CSS is a styling language. JavaScript, however, is a programming
language. Hence, they are all web languages, but they perform different jobs.
For those that are new to web design the easiest way to understand this relationship is to look
at an analogy that will break it down into bite-size chunks. One way to look at front-end web
development is to see these three languages interact with one another the same way a human
body interacts with its surroundings.
The Website as a Human Body
To make this easy to understand, I’m going to refer to these three web languages as different
aspects of the human body. We’re going to look at the body itself as a sort of command
centre; the accessories that are worn on the body as a way of representing personal style; and
then the actions that the body is capable of as a way of animating ourselves. So for the
purpose of this discussion, HTML will be referred to as the physical body, CSS will be the
body’s accessories and JavaScript is the body’s ability to talk or move. All of these ‘bodily
aspects’ need to work together to form a functional, visually appealing, interactive website.
