Ask HN: Which is harder Front end or Back end?

This is a two part question, I want to get a friend into Web development should I start him off with the Frontend side(HTML, CSS Javascript) or Backend side(PHP, JAVA, PYTHON) of things?

Which is harder and why? is Web development hard in general?

And which is more fun and joy to work on? if you had to pick one particular side to start off in and build a career out of because is fun which side would you favor?
