As a Full Stack Web Developer, I have the opportunity to work either front end or back end. Today I am going to discuss front end and what that involves.
Front end web development is also known as client side development. It is the process of implementing the web design through coding languages such as
- HTML
- CSS
- Javascript
HTML (Hypertext markup language)
Hypertext: a software system that links topics on the screen to related information and graphics, which are typically accessed by a point-and-click method.

Markup language is a computer language that uses tags to define elements within a document.
Together HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. It is used to create pages and make them functional.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
Along with HTML, CSS is the next basic building block of web coding. These two skills will allow you to build the most basic website. CSS is a stylesheet language that describes how elements should be rendered on the page. Some key changes you can use CSS for are
- alter font
- backgrounds
- colors
- text and image positions
- Image gallery
- forms
There are many areas CSS can be used to make your page look and feel exactly how you want.
JavaScript
JavaScript allows you to add a little more functionality to your site. It is used to create and control aspects of your site. It is most important to learn because it is the most popular programming language in the world.
