✉️ Issue #2: Fundamentals of Web Development

A web application consists of the frontend and the backend.

The frontend is the part of the application that the users can see through their browser. For example, when you type a URL in your browser and hit Enter, you will receive a webpage. That webpage is the frontend, created with HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheet).

​HTML defines the content and information displayed on the webpage, and CSS controls the appearance and layout of the HTML components.

If a web application is only made of HTML and CSS, it is called a static web application. However, imagine you are building an app with hundreds or even thousands of pages. Making so many static pages would be tedious, and your app would be impossible to maintain in the future.

Instead, you can store the data inside a database, which can easily and safely store millions of records, and then create a backend application in charge of retrieving information from the database, generating static pages based on the retrieved data, and finally serving the generated pages to the user. Such applications are referred to as dynamic web applications. 🚀 🎉 🚀 🎉
