In the case of web these terms are still defined by non-technical people and heavily misused.
In a typical web stack the front end is the UI and the back end is the database. You notice that precludes about 80% of the people writing code on modern web apps (such as Java people) who are somewhere in the middle. Its not backend just because Apache (or Tomcat) is somewhere in there.
