Front end is what is processed by the browser - html, css and JavaScript.

Backend is processed on the server before being sent to the browser - there you get a choice of languages and databases.

Hi felgall thanks for the description, but i guess a designer is suppose to know all that has to do with the front end and the programming languages for the backend as well

A designer does not need to understand all the workings of the backend if someone else is doing all that. They just deal with the code that the backend produces; the result of the backend.

SamA74 thanks a lot, am on it hopefully will get there in no time with much hardwork
