Learning web development as a beginner

Web development is the skill which refers to building websites and deployment on the web. It is further categorized into Front-end development and Back-end development.

Front-end development holds the part for the visual representation of a webpage which is interacted by a user directly. HTML, CSS and JavaScript collectively helps in front-end development. Moreover, on the way to become a front-end developer you must learn the frameworks and libraries like Bootstrap, React and Angular. After that, your next step should be to have a good command on GitHub and CI/CD(Continuous Integration or Continuous Deployment). This all over will complete your journey of front-end developer.

Now, moving towards Back-end development. It basically deals with server-side development and holds databases and architecture for your website. The best way to learn back-end development, is through JavaScript, in my opinion, as we'll get the command over it in our front-end development days. Although if you are interested only in back-end development, there's no need to worry. You can learn languages like Java, Python, PHP, C++ and many more.

NOTE - Don't get confused. Java and JavaScript are two different languages. 

In any case if you are choosing JavaScript like me, you'll have to learn the concepts of  NodeJS and Express. Afterwards, you need to learn about DBMS(Database Management System) technologies like MySQL,  MongoDB(recommended) and  SQL Server. You must also have the knowledge of caching mechanism like Redis and Memcached. And last but not the least, get familiar with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). The most used APIs around backend development are REST and SOAP. REST stands for Representational State Transfer and SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol.

And here you complete the path of backend development!

Most of you also have heard about Full-Stack development, that's nothing but a person with the potential of both front-end development (client-side) and back-end development (server-side).

That's all! Thank you for reading. Hope you get a clear roadmap for your web development journey :)
