In the early days of the web, a web developer (or webmaster) was expected to do everything: a little graphic design, database development, server-side coding, and front-end engineering. The job was varied and rapidly changed as the technologies evolved.

Today, there’s far more divergence within the employment market:

  • a designer may spend all day using PhotoShop and never touch the website code
  • a front-end engineer may concentrate on HTML, CSS and JavaScript without a concern for server-side processes
  • a back-end developer may create databases and PHP or ASP.NET code but never worry about the user interface.
