Web Software Languages and Programs

1. Frontend (User-Facing Part)

The frontend is the part that a user directly sees and interacts with.
Languages Used:
HTML → Structures the page (skeleton).
CSS → Styles the page (colors, spacing, fonts).
JavaScript → Dynamic content, user interactions.
Popular JavaScript Frameworks / Libraries:
React.js (Developed by Meta, component-based)
Vue.js (Simple and easy to learn)
Angular (Developed by Google, widely used in enterprise apps)
Svelte (Next-generation, compile-focused framework)
Design and UI Tools:
Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch – for UI/UX designs
Bootstrap – Ready-to-use CSS components
Tailwind CSS – Utility-first CSS framework

2. Backend (Server-Side Programming)

The backend handles data processing, server operations, and requests from users.
Backend Languages:
JavaScript (Node.js) → For fast and modern solutions
Python (Django, Flask) → Clean and readable structure
PHP (Laravel, Symfony) → Common in WordPress, e-commerce systems
Java (Spring Boot) → Large enterprise systems
C# (.NET Core) → Windows-based enterprise applications
Ruby (Ruby on Rails) → Simplified software development process
Web Servers:
Apache
Nginx
Node.js (can also be used as a server)

3. Database Systems

Databases store data such as user information, content, and products.
Relational Databases (SQL):
MySQL
PostgreSQL
Microsoft SQL Server
SQLite
NoSQL Databases:
MongoDB
Firebase Realtime Database
Redis (commonly used for caching)

4. Auxiliary Programs and Tools

Code Editors:
Visual Studio Code (most popular)
Sublime Text
Atom
Version Control:
Git
GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket → Project hosting
Other Developer Tools:
Postman – For API testing
Docker – Application containerization
NPM / Yarn – JavaScript package managers
Webpack / Vite – Frontend build tools
