4. Name a popular backend stack.

Quite close sir, but Apache is a web-server only.

If you have any more questions, please let us know so we can help you! :slight_smile:

Carlos Z.

Indeed. Apache is just one of LAMP

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    Database

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Writing server-side code and code to interact with a database.
    Ensuring that the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities and optimised enough to handle large volumes of traffic.

  3. What is a technology stack?
    For example LAMP that stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    LAMP or Django

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Because they can use the same language (JavaScript) for both front- and backend. So they should know about JavaScript.

  1. Database and server
  2. Write server-side code, code to interact with the database, make sure the code is secure, make sure the code can handle traffic, publicize the code so others can use it
  3. A set of backend technologies (LAMP)
  4. JavaScript & C++
  5. NodeJS works with JavaScipt and therefore you have one less language to learn

4. Name a popular backend stack.

Hello miss, maybe you confuse a little bit, JavaScript & C++ are programming language, in your answer above this one (3), you mention one of the backend stack: LAMP It is an acronym that stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

Hope this gives you a clear picture of the subject.

  1. A backend application stores information on servers and in database
  2. Writing server-side code
    Writing code to interact with a database
    Deploying the code online so that other people can use your service
    3 A technology stack is a set of backend technologies.
  3. LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP.
    5 NodeJS is recommended because JavaScript is used on the client-side and you will have only one language over the entire application

  1. Backend applications store information on a database
  2. Bakcend developers need to write server-side code and code that can intereact with the database + deploy code online so that other people can use the service.
  3. It is a group of server side components used by developers to create web and mobile applications i.e. LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
  4. Popular back end stack = LAMP
  5. Because it utilizes Javascript code which is also available to use on the front end so you’ve got one less language to learn.

    In a database on a server.

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Write server- side code.
    Make server-side code is not vulnerable to hacking.
    Write code that communicates with the database.
    Write code that can handle large traffic volumes.
    Deploy code on line so it can be used by others.

  3. What is a technology stack?
    A set of technologies used to work on the back end.

  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    LAMP - Lynx (OS), Apache (Server), MySQL (Database), PHP (Language)

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Because Front-end dev’s work in Javascript and Node JS is a server-side Java script framework. So they will be familiar with it and will not have to start from scratch by learning a completely new language.

  1. A backend application stores information in a database, which is fetched by a server.
  2. Writes server-side code, code to interact with database, ensures server side code is secure and efficient, Deploys code online so others can use service
  3. The classic system of backed technologies (LAMP)- os/server/database/server-side language
  4. NodeJS
  5. The same language, JavaScript, is used client and server side

    Classic one is /LAMP/ - Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Because it is also used by backend developers so you know one language which works at both ends.

  • What is a technology stack?
    A technology stack is a group of different types of software that is needed to run the back end
  • Name a popular backend stack.
    LAMP= Linux (operating system), Apache (server), mySQL (database) and PHP (server side language)
  • Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Because JavaScript is used in front end developement its is an easier steping stone to get into back end development as it uses the same language.

  1. The back-end application uses code, fetches & stores it on a Database.
  2. Writes code to interact with the Databse.
    Ensures the Server-Side code is capable of dealing with large amounts of Traffic
    Deploying that code online so other people can use our service.
  3. Backend Framework, these are technologies that the Backend Developer will use.The Technology Stack is acronym-ed LAMP. It stands for Linux (OS) Apache (Server) My SQL ( Database) and PHP (Server-side Language). I need to note that modern technologies are replacing these.
  4. Django written in Python
  5. A single language over the entire application, easier to manage and more for you’re moneys worth.

1: In a Data base such as MySql
2:writing code server side also write codes for communication between front and back end. optimize programs for more efficiency.
3:Its a assembly of languages and programs and data and process layers included in a complete application
4: LAMP Linus programming Apache web server MySql databases. PHP server language
5: It is a common programming laguage that can be used on both the server and client side makeing it simpler to use as only one language is required for the complete application.

  1. Database
  2. Writing code to interact with the server. Make the code available online so that it can be used by others. Optimize code to ensure server can handle large traffic.
  3. It’s the classic set of backend technologies that is called LAMP for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
  4. Flask.
  5. It uses Javascript which is a common language that frontend developers use.
