Introduction

Let’s get into the basics of coding a website.

Client-side

The source code of a website can be broken down into two parts: client-side and server-side. The code on the ‘client’ side runs on the client computer’s browser and handles what the website looks like, how it requests data from the server, and how it interacts with temporary and local storage on the client machine. This includes but is not limited to selecting and styling user interface components, creating layouts, navigation, form validation, and cache handling. Client-side languages include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
