Distributed development

Distributed development means that people from different places work together to build something. Think of it like building a big puzzle with your friends, but instead of being in the same room, each of you works on some pieces at their own house.

To work together, everyone has to use a computer and internet. They also need to connect to a special website or application that keeps everything organized. This place is called a platform.

Usually, when working together, people divide the work. One person can work on the puzzles' corners, while the other one focuses on the middle pieces. In distributed development, it works the same way, but everybody is in a different place. Developers take care of writing code, designers create the look of the project, and project managers supervise the work.

When everyone finishes their part, they upload it to the platform for others to see. They check if everything looks good and try to fit all the pieces together. This process can take some time because sometimes one piece doesn't fit in the space or the color is not right. But everyone can keep trying until it is perfect.

So, distributed development is like building something by working remotely with others. You may not see the people that you are working with, but you all work together to create something wonderful.
