What is Frontend Development?
Frontend development is about building the part of websites and applications that users actually see and interact with. When you visit a website, everything you click, scroll through, and type into—that's the frontend.
Most developers get their first taste of frontend work when they create their first HTML page. There's something satisfying about writing a few lines of code and seeing a webpage appear in your browser.
As a frontend developer, you'll work on three main types of projects:
- Websites — Think Wikipedia or company landing pages. These are collections of web pages that display information, often with some interactivity.
- Web Applications — Like Gmail or Netflix. These are full applications that run in your browser, handle user data, and provide complex functionality. You'll use frameworks like React, Vue, or Angular for these.
- Native Apps Built with Web Tech — Apps like Discord or Slack desktop apps. These use web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) but run as native applications using tools like Electron or React Native.
