To begin at the beginning, front-end web development is all about creating the actual experience of being on the web. What you see, what you hear, what you learn, what you do—in short, how you engage with a website—that’s what front-end web developers build. To do this, front-end developers deploy a mix of programming and design strategies, and ideally the goal for a front-end developer is to create beautiful websites, that also function well. Learning about front-end web development often begins with understanding the difference between front-end and back-end development. I’ll choose a musical metaphor to try and explain: imagine a website as an electric guitar. The components that actually make it possible for the guitar to emanate sound—wiring and pick-ups, for example—are back-end components. The features that make the guitar feel great to play—the action, the body shape, the neck width, plus “the look” of the instrument—those are front-end components.
