Front-end & Back-end

Front-end and back-end are terms used to characterize program interfaces and services relative to the initial user of these interfaces and services.
A "front-end" application is one that application users interact with directly.
A "back-end" application or program serves indirectly in support of the front-end services, usually by being closer to the required resource or having the capability to communicate with the required resource.
