Frontend is anything that happens on the client side, or in your web browser. This might be something like triggering an animation or scrolling a page, or even making an alert. Backend all happens on the server side, which is a program running on another remote computer. It is mostly only used for sites with complex content or large algorithms. Backend code may or may not be JavaScript. Some common backend languages are SQL, NodeJS, and Ruby.
