In the technical world, Front-end Frameworks are the part visible to the users, also known as the client-side frameworks. On the other hand, Back-end Frameworks are responsible for the background functioning, also known as the server-side frameworks.

In the web world, front-end frameworks are almost controlled by Javascript, HTML, and CSS, while for the backend, there are many options like Java, Python, Ruby, and even Javascript. However, those days are gone when you get a job quickly by knowing one technology and programming language.

In this blog, some of the best and most prominent web development frameworks are given. Full-stack developers must be familiar with these frameworks.

Summary: Best Front-end and Back-end Frameworks

Today’s web development world is quite dynamic and challenging; therefore, developers cannot survive by knowing HTML, CSS, and Javascript only. Sharpening a specific front-end or back-end framework is good but learning new tools and frameworks to become a full-stack developer will take you to the next level.
