# Basics of Front-End Development

---

Welcome to Dom's guide to front-end development! This is the first post in a series designed to introduce you to the world of front-end development.

### What is Front-End Development?

Front-end development is the process of creating the visible part of a website or web application, the part that users interact with. It involves coding with languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

### The Front-End Development Trifecta: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

* **HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)**: This is the backbone of any web page. It structures and organizes the content of a webpage.
    
* **CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)**: CSS makes our website look good. It's used to style and layout web pages — for example, to change fonts, colors, and animations.
    
* **JavaScript**: JavaScript makes web pages interactive. If a web page is a static picture, JavaScript is the animation that brings it to life.
