Client-Side vs. Server-Side Development
Web development can be broadly categorized into two major fields, namely, client-side and server-side development. These are developed independently with an eye on specific functions that help make a website run as they cater for the presentation, interactivity, and management of data in general.
1. What is Client-Side Development?
Client-side development is, in another way, also referred to as front-end development. All things users view and, above all, engage through their browsers are covered in client-side development. These include;
Languages: HTML for the structure of the site, CSS to style the site, and JavaScript for interactivity.
Responsiveness : Ensuring the site is responsive for varying screen sizes and devices.
Tools and Frameworks: Libraries like React, Angular, or Vue.js for building dynamic, good-looking interfaces.
Client-side: It will render a web page, running scripts as well as enabling real-time user interaction without reloading the page. For instance, coming up with a dropdown menu after clicking on a button occurs on the client side.
