Modern Paradigms
MPA vs SPA and the shift in web engineering.
- Distinguish between MPA and SPA architectures.
- Explain the importance of separation of concerns in modern development.
- Identify the role of APIs in full-stack communication.
01 Introduction to Modern Web Paradigms Viz
Multi-Page Application (MPA)
A traditional web architecture where every user interaction triggers a full page reload from the server.
Single-Page Application (SPA)
A modern web architecture where the browser loads a single HTML document and dynamically updates content as the user interacts with the app.
Modern development demands a strict separation of concerns. The frontend manages visual representation and user interaction, while the backend focuses on business logic, data persistence, and security.

Key Takeaways
- 1Web development has shifted from MPA to SPA for better interactivity.
- 2Frontend and Backend roles are strictly separated in modern full-stack development.
- 3APIs are the bridge connecting the client-side UI with server-side logic.
