Hidden Screen Geniuses: The IT Artists aka Front-End, Back-End, and Full-Stack Developers

In the world of software development, different types of developers play a crucial role in creating software and websites. Understanding the type of developer you need for your project depends on your needs in terms of functionality and performance. In this article, we'll provide an overview of the roles and responsibilities of each type of developer, including front-end, back-end, and full-stack developers.

Front-end Developer: Front-end developers are responsible for designing and creating the user interface (UI) for applications and websites. They use programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to develop interactive and responsive designs that provide a smooth user experience. For example, a front-end developer could work for an e-commerce company to develop a user-friendly interface for customers, using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create an attractive and easy-to-use presentation.

Back-end Developer: Back-end developers are responsible for designing and building the invisible part of an application, such as data management and algorithms. They use programming languages such as NodeJs, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Python, and Java to develop functional and secure applications. For example, a back-end developer could work for a wealth management company to design a secure database management system, using a programming language such as NodeJs or Python to ensure data security and reliability.

Full-stack Developer: Full-stack developers are developers who have skills in both front-end and back-end development. They are responsible for the design, construction, and complete implementation of an application. For example, a full-stack developer could work for a financial services company to develop a personal finance management application, using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a server-side programming language such as NodeJs to design a functional and user-friendly application.

That's it ! See U next level Doobs !

In the world of software development...

Should probably read "In the world of web software development..." - as many more types of software developer exist.

I know šŸ˜‚ I would have to write a book if I were to list every type of developer or programmer or coder. The term itself is confusing. It is therefore impossible to cover them all. I focused on generic designations šŸ˜‰.
