PHP Web Design & Development

Web development refers to the process of creating websites and web applications for the internet or a private network. It involves a combination of programming languages, frameworks, tools, and methodologies to build and maintain web-based solutions.

Web development can be broadly classified into two categories: front-end development and back-end development. Front-end development deals with the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of a website, while back-end development deals with server-side programming and database management.

Front-end development typically involves working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as various libraries and frameworks such as React, Angular, and Vue.js. Back-end development typically involves working with server-side languages like PHP, Python, Ruby, and JavaScript (with Node.js), as well as databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL.

Web developers use various tools and methodologies to streamline their workflow and ensure their code is efficient, maintainable, and secure. These tools may include text editors, integrated development environments (IDEs), version control systems like Git, testing frameworks, and deployment tools.
