I still don't know what back-end vs front-end is. I have a hard time understanding terms like that when it comes to programming jobs; I just like to program. Could anyone help explain these to me and give examples?

What the average normie/client sees/uses usually the eyecandy stuff= frontend
What it actually makes it work what the user wants = backend

Back-end generally speaking is server side so in the case of programming something like php or sql.

Front-end generally speaking is client side so in the case of programming making the dom of a website for example.

What kind of programming do you do?

Think of fastfood chain. The frontend is the counter and the backend is the kitchen. Hope you get some idea from this. 😀

@localjoost @jAsE Mostly desktop apps, but I have been learning HTML and JavaScript/jQuery for the first time this semester at college and am enjoying it.
I like knowing how to go about building my own websites now, although I have no domain to do so. Not the biggest fan of jQuery, but I guess it's starting to grow on me.

My main languages are C# and Python I suppose.
My first ever was Lua, thanks to a game called ROBLOX, almost a decade ago now. It was just their version of Lua though, so I'm not much good at using Lua on its own at the moment.
Anyway, I really enjoy programming, finding and fixing bugs for people, etc. I'm not very good at selling myself though, so I doubt I will find a job in programming anytime soon, although it's all I want to do after working retail and food for 5 years straight. Not going back to that crap.

Let me know if you have any other questions about what I like to do, or anything really. I've been lurking on devRant for a while, but I thought I'd say hi

I appreciate the answers thus far - they do help. The more answers I receive, the better, so I can properly comprehend this.

You should start googling your questions. It's much more effective

Front end = barber / stylist.

Back end = proctologist / gastroenterologist
