32. What Developers Do: Front End vs Back End

Key learning notes from this episode:

Developers write computer code to make the design come alive. The vast majority of apps will need to have a front end and a back end.
Front end developers create computers that interact with humans. If you can see it, touch it or speak to it, it is a front end.
Back end developers create computers that interact with other computers.

When you are working with a product team, the work cycle will go as follows:

Designers create your prototype
Back end developers build the back end
Front end developers build the front end

If you want to go deeper, then check out the What Non-Technical Founders Really Need to Know about Tech course, where I teach you the process of how to go from idea to a live product and how to work effectively with developers, designers and other people involved in the process.
