What Is Front and Back Ends?
The front and back ends are a lot like breakfast and dinner. The front end is the part of your day you spend with people you like, while the back end happens when everyone is asleep. The front end is where things get done, where you're interacting with other people and getting stuff done. The back end is where items are stored, where your work gets done without anyone seeing it or interrupting it by asking, "why are we doing this again?". The front end is about customer service, while the back end is about ensuring your customers don't have any problems. The back end is the brains of your website. The rear end is what makes your website work. It's where the data is stored and where all the magic happens. The back end refers to indirectly linked devices that respond to end-user activities or requests, e.g., routers, network servers and email servers. The front and back ends are the beginning and ending points of any software or network processing system. The front end is where the user interacts with the application, while the back end is responsible for storing data and performing calculations. The front end is what people see when they use a product or service, but it also allows them to interact with it in the first place. The front end serves as an interface between users and their computer screens or mobile devices, displaying information about whatever they're working on at that moment. The back end is where all this information gets stored so it can be accessed later if necessary. It's also where any calculations are performed by the application—like how much money you've spent in the last year—or where instructions are sent out to other programs within your computer system (such as sending an email).
