Coding, in simpler terms, is the language used by computers to understand our commands and, therefore, process our requests.
Just as many human-based languages exist, there are an array of computer programming languages that coders can use to communicate with a computer. Some common languages are Python, Java, Javascript, C/C++, and R.
Front-end developers designs into a functioning website . They make things pretty. To code, they use HTMl, CSS, and Javascript.
Back-end developers work on the parts of the website that gather and track data and present it back to the owner of the website. If you have ever put your email address into a site, a back-end developer made sure the backend could track your email address and put it into a list the website owner could access later. To code, they use Python, Java, Ruby, etc.
UI/UX designers think about how a website, app, software or other interface should be laid out so it’s easy for people to find what they need.
APIs make it easier to share data across groups or companies automatically, without having to build special software together. When used properly, they are very secure, and can make it easy to expand the functions of your website, app or platform without making extreme changes to the original code.
