32. What Developers Do: Front End vs Back End
Feb 03, 2021
In this episode Sophia covers two tech terms you'll hear if you build apps and sites: the back end and the front end. Most apps and sites need to have both to function.
Listen to this episode for a simple non-techie explanation of the back end and front end, what they do and who should build them. This is a useful episode for non-technical founders, product managers, designers and investors.
Learning notes:
- Developers write computer code to make the design come alive. The vast majority of apps will need to have a front end and a back end.
-
Front end developers create computers that interact with humans. If you can see it, touch it or speak to it, it is a front end.
- Back end developers create computers that interact with other computers.
When you are working with a product team, the work cycle will go as follows:
- Designers create your prototype
- Back end developers build the back end
- Front end developers build the front end
