What do you exactly mean by frontend and backend parts of a software during development?
85340
the terms front end and back end refer to the initial and the end stages of a process flow.The general idea is that the front-end is responsible for collecting input from the user, which can be in a variety of forms, and processing it in such a way that it conforms to a specification that the back-end can use. The connection of the front-end to the back-end is a kind of interface.\n\nIn software design, the front-end is the part of a software system that deals with the user, and the back-end is the part that processes the input from the front-end. The separation of software systems into "front ends" and "back ends" is a kind of abstraction that helps to keep different parts of the system separated. \n\n\nThe separation between the frontend and backend allows them to run on the same or different machines. \n\nhope the following definitions help you understand it..although keeping it simple...:-)\n  \n  \n(1) For software applications, front end is the same as user interface. \n(2) In client/server applications, the client part of the program is often called the front end and the server part is called the back end. \n\n(3) Compilers, the programs that translate source code into object code, are often composed of two parts: a front end and a back end. The front end is responsible for checking syntax and detecting errors, whereas the back end performs the actual translation into object code.

It means a program undergoing an experimental and development phase...not yet complete, and uses feedback from users to improve before launching as a full fledged operating program.

In a software release the following pattern is followed\n-> Alpha Release\n-> Beta Release\n-> Release Candidate\n-> Release\n-> Quick Fix\n-> Service Pack\n\nThe first one Alpha is an internal testing release in the company.\nThe second Beta release is done when bugs which are reported are fixed. Then its release outside the company to few organizations or in the internet world to the open for testing. Bugs that are reported are fixed as and when.\nThe release candidate is the next in the pattern with most of the bugs fixed.\nFinally the product or service is launched in public.\nIf any bugs found after that, the company releases quick fixes or patches to it.\nIF the number of quick fixes reach a great number, a service pack is released which contain all the fixes since the release.\n\nHope this answered your question.\n\ncheers,\nNarry.

To answer this question, we'd need to take your class for you.  \n\nBoth types of programs have appropriate uses.  You have to define what you are attempting to do before you can figure out which is appropriate.  As far as what should be on the front end or back end, again, this is application specific.\n\nYou need to do a little more of your classwork yourself as far as deciding what you are doing.  If you are in your final class for getting your diploma, you are dreadfully behind if you are asking questions like this one.

I think the question was about processes running on an OS, not software development process.\n\nThe biggest reason is multitasking.  A single process often does not use the full capability of the computer, as it may be waiting for something to complete, generally some kind of IO (e.g. disk or user input).  Multitasking allows the CPU to work on something else while that is occuring.\n\nOnce you decide to have multiple processes, you need some way to manage them, keeping one process from mucking up another process.

you go to a programmer and say 'i need a piece of software that does this or that because there's isn't already a software which can do it they way i want - can you write something to do that for me?', when the programmer writes that software for you, it's custom written software. software written specifically at your request.

What does this have to do with programming & design?

A lot of the application code is already there. You just extend the code to make it display/do what you want. =)

front end  is the toll which is used to make your program as easy and to more convinience to use it\n\n\nit is also userfriendly\n\nexample:\n    VB\n    developer 2000\n\nback end:\n  this is the area where the real process is going to take place i.e in database

customizing the software for users in a certain kind of business or providing software maintenance.\n\nthose would be the 2 areas that seem useful.

it would depend on the type of application, but should include:\n- extracting statistics\n- providing user support upon request\n- operating some ticketing support system\n- provide suggestions for bugs creation and/or application\n- help with regular upgrades and new systems launch

Software is basically an application you install on your computer; it's any kind of program.\n\nWhat do you mean by software projects and lines?

Here are some major divisions, although new one come up almost everyday and it is not very strict :)\n\n1. Applied software (applications) - software dedicated for the end user. This is your browser, a text editor etc.\n2. Power user software - software dedicated for developers (programmers). This is like the operating system, programing languages compilers etc.\n3. System software - software for building/extending operating systems like drivers (another harware etc.)\n\nThere could be also platform divisions like mobile software, PC software etc. Also some major branches could be treated as a division itslef like game development etc. :)
