What is front-end vs. full-stack web development vs. software engineering?
Front-end web development focuses on implementing the visual or design elements of websites, and the page displayed in the browser that users interact with. This type of work is often divided into a unique role, called a Front-End Web Developer. Front-end web development includes using languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Back-end web development involves the management of data and technical resources to support what is being presented on the front-end. Similarly, this type of work is often divided into a unique role, called a Back-End Web Developer. With this part of web development, there are many languages used, but Node or Node.js (taught in our web development program) is a powerful system that enables back-end work to be completed using JavaScript. This effectively means that a Developer can create a website or web application using JavaScript across both the front-end and back-end, simplifying development.
Full-stack development is a highly versatile and sought-after skill set because it involves implementing both the visual and design elements of a web application and the back-end systems that support it. As you may have guessed, this mix of skills also has its own title or role as a Full-Stack Developer.
Software engineering is a broader and very closely related field to web development. Rather than developing web applications exclusively, Software Engineers and Developers create many different types of software including web apps, mobile apps, and native desktop applications. Software engineering can also include solving a broader scope of technical problems related to a digital solution, rather than exclusively writing code for websites and web apps within web development.
Tech companies in Toronto and around the world need a mix of Software Engineer and Web Developer talent with front-end, back-end, and full-stack development skills to effectively work on digital projects.
