Web development is the process of creating and maintaining websites. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including web design, content creation, server-side scripting, client-side scripting, and e-commerce development.
Web development involves the use of programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build and maintain websites and web applications. It also involves the use of server-side languages such as PHP, Ruby, and Python to build the back-end functionality of a website or web application.
Web development can be divided into two main categories: front-end development and back-end development. Front-end development involves the design and layout of a website, as well as the interactive features that users interact with. Back-end development involves the development of the server-side functionality of a website, such as the creation of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and the integration of databases.
