What is easier to learn for a beginner in web development: fron-tend,back-end or full-stack?
This post will help you to clear your doubt on web development languages
Introduction:
Beginners who set out to learn code are often faced with this challenging question if it is easier to learn front-end, back-end or full-stack web development. I have seen and heard many code newbies asking this question on the internet, hence, I decided to share my quora post answer in this post for all those code beginners who would also face this doubt in their learning journey.
Why HTML-CSS is the easiest to learn:
It's easier to learn front-end followed by back-end. For front-end, you only need to learn HTML and CSS which are easy to understand and once you get your feet dirty in the front-end projects, it's much easier to go ahead with backend. Html and css are going to test your UI that is, User Interface and UX , that is, User Experience capabilities and it's interesting without any complex coding syntaxes, algorithms or mathematical expressions involved. so, even if you are not from Science background, you can grasp it well . When you code in HTML, you start creating a website layout and on doing css code , it's translated into a beautiful web interface. You can even practise code by inspecting code of popular websites and can clone them as well.
What next after HTML-CSS
The next step should be to learn JavaScript and React to add functionality to the sites. The website is not just about design interface, it's also about adding functionality such as submitting forms, buttons for adding products to carts, buttons for accepting payments, etc.
Once you feel comfortable with front-end, you could start learning a backend language such as python, php or Node.js. This is about maintaining the databases of the site after adding functionality to the site. Backend language helps you to store and retrieve data in your site centralized management system.
Once you learn a backend language, after your front-end language, you are fit to work as fullstack developer as well!
Conclusion
It is a win-win situation to learn web development if you follow the route that I mapped out above. I explained here why front-end is surely much more easier to learn than the back-end and full-stack and how to go about the learning steps.
