Web Development
Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites and web applications. It involves various aspects of software development, including web design, client-side and server-side programming, database management, and security. Web development can be divided into three main categories: front-end development, back-end development, and full-stack development. Front-end development focuses on the user-facing aspects of a website or application, such as the user interface and user experience. Back-end development focuses on the server-side aspects of a website or application, such as the database and business logic. Full-stack development involves both front-end and back-end development. Web development is a broad field with many different technologies and frameworks, and it requires a diverse set of skills.
