Much of this programming code is behind the scenes and not visible to the user.

Due to the increasing complexity of web applications in recent years, developers often specialize in either frontend or backend work. Frontend developers often work on the interface side of Rich Internet Applications - and typically work with technologies such as ECMAscript, Ajax frameworks, CSS, and DOM.

Backend developers usually focus on the interaction between web server-side languages and databases. Some backend developers maintain databases directly on their web servers, while in other situations the backend developer calls data, managed by a database administrator, on an external system.
