I started my web-dev experience not so long ago but I will be frank: I am a back-end dude because I am naturally unable to perform artistic things: I am unable to produce any form of art with my own hand. I have this incompatibility since my school days: during art subjects my draws weren't so good.
A sort of exception art I am good at, or if I can say I excel in it, is technical drawing: I love hand drawing sections of item, 3D drawing, floors, building; I am also in love with CAD software for digital drawing.

Now you can understand why I am a back-end dude. If you try to combine me and CSS you will get a 1990 website style, I know few CSS and JS tricks but I can't call myself a front-end. I am unable to create nice UI.

Hello @LightDestory!

In Web development, most programmers start in the back-end but end up fullstack. You see, the real fun in WebDev is on the front-end where you get to play with the browser's DOM (Document Object Model) using JavaScript. And if you really master JavaScript, then you'll love using it back-end (using Node.js) and front-end (in the browser) Like any modern fullstack Web developer.

Of course, playing with the DOM entails a reasonable knowledge of the HTML(5) markup language, CSS and various Web APIs.

If you want to do 3D programming, then WebGL is yet another spec.

Now, about me. I've got interested in the Web (as a hobby) since mid 90s, the scripting was then done with PERL; JavaScript has just been released by Sun back then. In mid-2000s, I got more active with PHP (I think it was in its version 3.) With the JavaScript rebirth in 2005/6 with the Ajax revolution (the Async way made its first apparition on the Web scene), I then shifted my attention to the front-end.

In 2012, when Node.js became popular and me being more fluent in JavaScript, then my fullstack status became a reality when I coded my own backend (HTTP server + annexed handlers) in JavaScript.

As for my preferred language, you would guess it by now, as it's without a doubt, JAVASCRIPT or should I say ECMAScript (as it's the official name.)
