Introduction to Web Development
Web development encompasses various technologies and skills required to create and maintain websites and web applications. It involves both front-end and back-end development, as well as database management and server configuration.
Front-End Development
Front-end development focuses on the visual and interactive elements of a website. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the core technologies used in front-end development to create the structure, style, and interactivity of web pages.

Back-end development involves working with server-side technologies to manage and store data, as well as handle user authentication and business logic. Common back-end languages include PHP, Python, Ruby, and Node.js.
