Web development is the process of building websites, web applications, online stores,
dashboards, portfolio sites, social platforms, and complete digital systems. Web
development is divided into: • Frontend Development — what users see • Backend
Development — server logic, databases, APIs • Full■Stack Development — frontend
+ backend + databases + deployment

Knowledge • Apache, Nginx • Reverse proxy • PM2 for Node.js • PHP-FPM for Laravel
★ Deployment Workflows • GitHub → VPS deployment • CI/CD basics • Env file
configuration • SSL installation (HTTPS)
7. Web Security (Very Important)
• SQL Injection protection • XSS protection • CSRF protection • Password hashing
(bcrypt) • Rate limiting • HTTPS mandatory • Secure cookies
8. SEO + Performance Optimization
