Web developer

Short description: Programmer who specializes in World Wide Web applications

A web developer is a programmer who develops World Wide Web applications using a client–server model. The applications typically use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in the client, and any general-purpose programming language in the server. HTTP is used for communications between client and server. A web developer may specialize in client-side applications (Front-end web development), server-side applications (back-end development), or both (full-stack development).[1]

* Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript[2]
* Programming/coding/scripting in one of the many server-side languages or frameworks
