**Angular**, or **Vue.js**.

2. **Backend Development**:
- Handles the server-side logic, databases, and APIs.
- Manages how the website functions behind the scenes.
- Technologies: **Node.js**, **Python (Django, Flask)**, **PHP**, **Ruby on Rails**, **Java
(Spring)**, and databases like **MySQL**, **PostgreSQL**, or **MongoDB**.

3. **Full-Stack Development**:

5. **Database**:
- Stores and retrieves data for the website.
6. **Hosting and Deployment**:
- Websites are hosted on servers and made accessible via the internet.

### Types of Websites:


1. **Static Websites**: Simple, fixed content that doesn't change dynamically.
2. **Dynamic Websites**: Content is generated in real-time, often using databases.
3. **E-commerce Websites**: Online stores with product catalogs, shopping carts, and payment
gateways.
4. **Web Applications**: Complex platforms like social networks, email services, and SaaS
products.

### Tools and Technologies in Web Development:
