Web development is the process of creating and maintaining websites. It involves both front-end development, which focuses on the visual aspects that users interact with, and back-end development, which handles the server-side logic and integration. Languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks like React or Angular are used on the front end, while languages like Python, Ruby, and PHP are common on the back end. The goal is to build functional, user-friendly websites that offer a seamless experience. Quite the digital craft, don’t you think?
