The Beginner's Guide to Website Development

Web development usually refers to web-based markups and programming. Website development contains all the related tasks of development, including server-side scripting, client-side coding servers, network security configuration, eCommerce development, and the development of a content management systems (CMS) design.
Developers are experts in various types of development.

Some developers focus on user interfaces, and others are involved in the code used to create the website's functionality. In contrast, others focus on the entire structure of the website. Every web developer focuses on a distinct development element, but they all have one thing in common: they all code. Below are a few different kinds of development for the web:

Front-end Development: Front-end development involves designing the user interface using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so visitors can browse and engage with the site.
Back-end development involves the creation of server-side applications that focus on the aspects that are not visible on a site. Back-end developers ensure that the website functions correctly, focusing on the back-end logic, databases, APIs (APIs) architecture, and servers.
Full-stack development creates both the front-end and back-end parts of the web-based application.
Development of websites: A process to design, build and maintain a site.
Desktop development involves developing, designing, and maintaining a website on computers. It is focused on creating apps for three of the most used operating system: Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Mobile Development: Mobile development involves developing, designing, and maintaining a mobile-friendly website.
Development of games: A method of developing and creating games for websites, desktops, or mobile gadgets.
Development for embedded devices: Embedded development involves developing applications that use programming languages like C or C++ for medical drones, devices, flight controllers, etc.

The first thing you need to do is research what your designing site for and do keyword research and buy domain names and web hosting. You can design and upload to the web hosting your going to use but you should know what your site needs to be seo for before making most of the site.

There are very many tools that can be used to create the UI. Webassembly is something newer that can do much of what JavaScript does. PHP and ASP.Net can do things in the server for the UI in the client. There are dozens of languages and other tools, like Razor and Blazor and Jekyll that can be used in the server and client.

Desktop development does not include website development. Desktop development is for programs that execute in the user's system without a browser.

Mobile development does not include website development. Mobile development is for applications that execute in a smartphone, such as (for Android) the applications we install from the Google Playstore.

Where devices can include things like washing machines. Even a TV remote control. A PC keyboard has a tiny processor in it that is an embedded processor. Embedded applications require a special operating system that allows the system to respond quickly to events.
