I’m starting to study WEB and I still lack much knowledge, and early on I came across the terms that are highly used in this world of development WEB, who are Front-end and Back-end, I have read some articles about it, but I still have doubts and I cannot understand those terms. I would like to know what it is Front-end and Back-end, which languages and technologies belong to the Front-end and which ones belong to the Back-end and what are the differences between them?

Unlike programming for desktops where almost all features are available on the local machine, in programming for web the most important is to understand the http protocol cycle, a request is made by the client the server processes the request and returns something (a text, usually in html notation).
The front-end termno refers to the features developed in the 'client' part of the software, some tools are javascript and css.
Back-end is a term used to define server-side built functionalities.

Very simply :
Front-end is what the user will view, usually done in HTML and Javascript.
Back-end is what will be processed from behind on the server. The user has no access , the back end is also responsible for building the front end for the user. Normally PHP is used but can be done in any other language.

Two very common terms in the web and front community that Voce may refer to client-side and back end to server-side.
Some languages like css,html and js only need the client’s browser to work. while php, C# server-side languages need a server.
I recommend reading of: What is client-side and server-side?
Java is front-end and back-end language?
more used as back-end, but if we look at the java applets (java programs running in the browser) it is already called front-end

I didn’t know that the terms Front-end and Back-end were the same thing client-side and server-side. There is giving example in ASP.NET.

@Denercarvalho "apparently" can change both things. But it would be nice if someone had a different view of the thing, share it with us. It may be that someone understands, for example, that a functional JS is part of the back end, even on the client’s side, will know. Open terminology is always complicated, it depends a lot on the way people interpret it. Different from a term determined by an RFC, for example.

I have already clicked on the button and marked as duplicate, the analogy between server, client and user that the AR has already clarified a lot :D.
