Yeah - That's a pet-peeve of mine: frontend and backend are entirely contextual. Some people would say backend about server side code. Other might split the server side code into two. Some times your application uses web services; Then people often refer to those as being backend for your application. Without further qualification, the words are meaningless.
- dpritchett 16y agoI met with an angel once who seemed to feel frontend meant suits and backend meant coders. I completely misunderstood his question because I was thinking of the coders' definition of the terms.
- lowkey 16y agoAre you sure he wasn't talking about front-office vs. back-office?
- dpritchett 16y agoNope, never really followed up on it. We were just having an informal chat and that part was clearly confusing to both of us.
- troels 16y agoI've heard the same use of the words, although I don't recall the context. Pretty sure he was a suit though.
