Web developer
open-in-new
<p>A web developer is a <a href="/facts/Programmer/WGTS1Jv9">programmer</a> who develops <a href="/facts/World_Wide_Web/wvnTrWFq">World Wide Web</a> applications using a <a href="/facts/Client%25E2%2580%2593server_model/FSnf27C5">client–server model</a>. The applications typically use <a href="/facts/HTML/sSc3fT78">HTML</a>, <a href="/facts/CSS/tA90XBQo">CSS</a>, and <a href="/facts/JavaScript/XhhIIEsl">JavaScript</a> in the client, and any general-purpose <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a> in the server. <a href="/facts/Http/TWtvf7JD">HTTP</a> is used for communications between client and server. A web developer may specialize in client-side applications (<a href="/facts/Front-end_web_development/zl9U2fq0">Front-end web development</a>), server-side applications (back-end development), or both (full-stack development). </p>
