In front-end development, we focus on how an app looks and how users interact with it. For websites, people use web pages, and on mobile apps, it's the screens. A front-end developer makes sure the screens look good and are easy to navigate. They improve how things look, make text easy to read, and arrange content nicely on the page. Front-end developers need to be experts in making things look good and user-friendly. They use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to do this.

A front-end developer plays the same role in Application Development as that of a hero or movie actor. If the actor's acting or dialogue delivery does not meet the audience's expectations or is not up to the mark, then, the movie will be a flop for sure. Likewise, no matter how unique, heart-touching, and award-worthy be the story, if the picturization fails to connect with the audience, even the biggest superstar cannot make the movie successful.

In the same manner, a front-end developer is responsible for creating applications with a layout and navigation that minimizes confusion and enhances accessibility for clients or users. This ensures that they can easily and efficiently use the application.

A front-end developer is sometimes referred to as a client-side developer. To become a front-end developer, you need to specialize in client-side technologies. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are essential technologies for building any web application and are commonly used for mobile app development as well.

HTML : Hyper Text Markup Language

HTML serves as the backbone of every web page. In today's era, you won't find a webpage that doesn't use HTML. It's important to note that HTML is a markup language, not a programming language. A markup language deals with text and its structure. HTML defines how the inner text should be treated by the client or web browser. To illustrate, think about how we can imagine the appearance of a car without using colors and interior/exterior decoration. Similarly, a website page would have a basic look if it only uses HTML.

CSS : Cascading Stylesheet

CSS is a technology that controls the presentation of any markup language. With CSS, we can create responsive and attractive web pages, enhancing user engagement with the application. Without CSS, we can only define the basic structure and colors on a webpage. However, when we use CSS properly, the webpage looks clearer, cleaner, and becomes easier to access.

Javascript : Client side scripting language

JavaScript is a programming language, also known as a scripting language. Its main role is to transform static pages into dynamic ones, allowing the content to be regularly updated. JavaScript enables web pages to communicate with the server. It stands out as one of the most popular programming languages in today's programming world. Whether you're a front-end developer, back-end developer, or a full-stack developer, everyone is familiar with JavaScript.
