Frontend and backend
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Software_development/UUfsAaYY">software development</a>, frontend refers to the <a href="/facts/Presentation_layer/I8so1UBN">presentation layer</a> that users interact with, while backend involves the <a href="/facts/Data_management/Cykeqxc7">data management</a> and processing behind the scenes, and full-stack development refers to mastering both. In the <a href="/facts/Client%25E2%2580%2593server_model/FSnf27C5">client–server model</a>, the <a href="/facts/Client_(computing)/u0wlVsWI">client</a> is usually considered the frontend, handling user-facing tasks, and the <a href="/facts/Server_(computing)/dEaYFD7r">server</a> is the backend, managing data and logic. Some presentation tasks may also be performed by the server. </p>
