What are Backend and Frontend?
- Backend refers to the server-side of an application, handling data storage, security, and business logic. Frontend is the client-side, focusing on user interface and experience. Together, they form the full stack of web development.
How Do I Remember It?
- Think of a restaurant: the backend is the kitchen (where food is prepared, recipes are stored), and the frontend is the dining area (where customers interact with the menu and eat).
Real World Example
- In a social media app, the frontend is what you see and interact with (posts, likes, comments), while the backend manages data storage, user authentication, and processes like generating your feed.
