At the risk of sounding totally high: Websites are sort of like restaurants, when you think about it. 

Stick with us.

You’ve got your front-end developers, who function just like an establishment’s front-of-house staff in that they’re responsible for the things that come into direct contact with customers — but instead of bussing tables and serving tasty food, they’re designing functional navigation menus and installing pretty fonts.

That would make back-end developers much like a kitchen staff in that they make the things that power their front-end counterparts, though instead of washing dishes and cooking grub, they’re cleaning up data and developing applications. 

Much like a chef’s career, which often requires formal culinary training, most back-end development positions necessitate a bachelor’s degree in computer science or computer programming. And while we don’t have an in at Le Cordon Bleu, we happen to have a special offer for aspiring back-end developers in the form of the Complete Back-End Developer Bundle, now on sale in the Mashable Shop. 

Divided into nine different courses, it’ll fast-track a lucrative coding career and give you the knowledge required to create professional web apps from scratch. By the time you’ve wrapped up all 60-plus hours of training, your work will be worthy of a Michelin star’s programming equivalent. (Or something like that.)
