Backend development refers to the creation and management of applications or programs that support front-end services. A back-end developer may work with operating systems, networking, compilers, databases, servers, and other elements of the infrastructure that supports user interaction with an interface.
Relative to the client/server computing model, the back-end is generally a server while the front-end is a client. A back-end application may interact directly with the front-end or, perhaps more typically, an intermediate program would facilitete both front-end and back-end functions.
