What is front-end web development?

If a website is a car, front-end web development is the gas and break pedals, the steering wheel, and the leather interior. Basically, it's all the stuff you can touch, see and hear.

Why learn front-end web development?

If you're interested in creating a beautiful website one day, you'll need these skills. It's also a great introduction to coding, which has a wide variety of uses.
