Web development refers to building websites and web applications that run on the internet. It involves designing how a website looks (frontend) and building how it works behind the scenes (backend).

Web development has three major categories:

  • Frontend Development: Focuses on website design and user experience using HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
  • Backend Development: Manages server logic, database, and security using languages like Node.js, Python, PHP, Java.
  • Full Stack Development: A combination of both frontend and backend skills.

Today, almost every business needs a website - so the demand for skilled web developers is rapidly growing. Whether you want to create personal websites or enterprise applications, learning web development opens countless career opportunities.
