🌐 Web Developer Roadmap (Beginner-Friendly)

A step-by-step guide to becoming a web developer, designed for complete beginners.

📍 SECTION 1: Start Here – What is Web Dev?

What does a web developer do?

Web developers create and maintain websites. They build everything you see and interact with online, from simple text pages to complex web applications like social media platforms and online stores.

Frontend vs Backend

Frontend

Everything you see and interact with in a browser. The visual part of websites including layouts, buttons, text, and animations.

Backend

The "behind the scenes" part that users don't see. Handles data storage, security, and server operations that power the frontend.
