New page

Recently we got into a discussion: What [[wikipedia:Front_and_back_ends|frontend]] means?

On one side the term [[frontend] is very generic. It's [[wikipedia:Front_and_back_ends|wikipedia description]] describes it in general terms too trying to pretend that any [[GUI|user interface]] is also a [[frontend]]. However, when you look at [[Swing]], you see it being referenced as [[GUI|graphical user interface]], not as a [[frontend]]. As such I believe the meaning of the term is being shifted more and more towards web development. The term [[frontend]] has been kidnapped by the [[JavaScript]] camp few years ago. It no longer means [[Swing]] or [[SWT]], it only means [[DOM]], [[CSS]] & co.

Everyone not deeply knowledgeable of [[Java]] will expect that [[frontend]] means exactly an application running in a browser or in a WebView component (on desktop or mobile phone) written using CSS/DOM/etc.

What's your opinion? Does [[frontend]] equals (more or less) to [[HTML]]5 these days?
