A `!web developer`! is a `F33f`_`[programmer`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Programmer]`_`f who develops `F33f`_`[World Wide Web`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=World_Wide_Web]`_`f applications using a `F33f`_`[client–server model`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Client–server_model]`_`f. The applications typically use `F33f`_`[HTML`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=HTML]`_`f, `F33f`_`[CSS`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=CSS]`_`f, and `F33f`_`[JavaScript`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=JavaScript]`_`f in the client, and any general-purpose `F33f`_`[programming language`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Programming_language]`_`f in the server. `F33f`_`[HTTP`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Http]`_`f is used for communications between client and server. A web developer may specialize in client-side applications (`F33f`_`[Front-end web development`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Front-end_web_development]`_`f), server-side applications (back-end development), or both (full-stack development).`:cite-ref-1[`F5bf`_`[1`#cite-note-1]`_`f]

>>Prerequisite

There are no formal educational or `F33f`_`[license`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=License]`_`f requirements to become a web developer. However, many colleges and trade schools offer coursework in web development. There are also many tutorials and articles which teach web development, often freely available on the web - for example, on JavaScript.

Even though there are no formal requirements, web development projects require web developers to have `F33f`_`[knowledge`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Knowledge]`_`f and skills such as:

• Using `F33f`_`[HTML`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=HTML]`_`f, `F33f`_`[CSS`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Cascading_Style_Sheets]`_`f, and `F33f`_`[JavaScript`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=JavaScript]`_`f`:cite-ref-2[`F5bf`_`[2`#cite-note-2]`_`f]

• Programming/coding/scripting in one of the many server-side languages or frameworks

• Understanding `F33f`_`[server-side`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Server-side]`_`f/`F33f`_`[client-side`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Client-side]`_`f architecture and communication of the kind mentioned above

• Ability to utilize a `F33f`_`[database`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Database]`_`f`:cite-ref-3[`F5bf`_`[3`#cite-note-3]`_`f]
