  1. In a database

  2. Set up the database, write the server side code, optimize code to scale efficiently and handle high volumes of traffic, ensure database is secure.

  3. Combination of languages a developer uses to build a program or application.

  4. NodeJS

  5. Because the server side language is written in JavaScript which is also used for front-end development. One less language to have to learn!

#22
  1. How does a backend application normally store information?

any type of database will do

  1. Name a few things backend developers need to do.

write server codes in general, but mostly codes that would interact with databases and optimise codes to handle large volume of transactions

  1. What is a technology stack?

set of tools, like LAMP, that were integrated to come up with an web app

  1. Name a popular backend stack.

LAMP and modern frameworks like Node

  1. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?

since JS is language commonly used in frontend, its best to bring it also to server-side programming

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    It uses a data base as a service platform to store information.

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Write server-side code,
    write code to interact with a database,
    ensure that server-side code is free from vulnerabilities, ensure the server-side code is optomized to handle large volumes of traffic,
    deploy code online so service can be used by everyone

  3. What is a technology stack?
    A group of backend server-side applications working together, LAMP
    L inux (opperating system)
    A pach (Server)
    M ySQL (database)
    P HP (Server side language)

  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    LAMP,
    Python,
    JavaScript.

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Since JavaScript is also used on the client-side (frontend) you have a single language over the entire Application when building a web app. you have one language less to learn.

  1. In a database
  2. Design the database, code, manage the server and more.
  3. It is a set of different products or systems that are bundled together to provide 360 functionality e.g. LAMP.
  4. Django.
  5. Because it is Javascript and you do not have to learn another language and you can reuse your existing code.

In a database.

  1. Name a few things backend developers need to do.

Understand the need/requirements of the BE to be able to choose the preferable technology stack. The BE shall support the different set of front end applications which demands that it’s well structured. They must make sure to build in support for the different front end applications/clients as well as communication protocols among other things…

A set of crucial technologies (OS, server, database and programming language) used when developing the back end.

  1. Name a popular backend stack.

LAMP

  1. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?

Because it executes in Java which most programmers are familiar to.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    It is stored on the server side and/or database.

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do?

  • write server-side code
  • write code to interact with a DB
  • ensure that the code is secure and bug free
  • ensure that the code is optimized to handle heavy traffic
  1. What is a technology stack?
    A tech stack is a set of tools a dev will use :LAMP is an example of using Linux as OS, Apache for servers, MySQL for DB and PHP as a coding language. A newer approach to this will be using frameworks such as Flask or Django (Python) + NodeJS (JavaScript) + a non SQL DB such as MongoDB.

4.Name a popular backend stack.
LAMP

  1. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Because they can use it both in FE and BE without the need of learning a new language.

#35

How does a backend application normally store information?

In a database like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL server, Mango DB, Maria DB, DB2, SAP HANA.

Name a few things backend developers need to do.

They should write backend code that is secure, sound, ensures that the server-side code can scale under load, utilise database effectively and all the required APIs.

What is a technology stack?

A technology stack is a combination of software products and programming languages used to create a web or mobile application. Applications have two software components: client-side and server-side, also known as front-end and back-end.

Name a popular backend stack.

A good source of technology stacks is Bitnami.com where you can download stacks such as: WAMP Windows OS, Apache, Open SSL and MySQL, for Linux there is LAMP and for Mac MAMP. This all comes under Bitnamis infrastructure containers. https://bitnami.com/

Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?

With Javascript you only need to use or be skilled at Javascript to do both the front-end and back-end, this allows creative front-end web developers to do the whole project raising their value and input.

  1. A backend app would store information through a database, usually in a server somewhere.

  2. Backend developers would - make databases
    - write server side code
    - ensure server side code is secure and optimized for high volume
    - “other stuff”

  3. …what Rorey said…

A Technology stack is all the different software (I think would be the term) components required to use from the client side to the server side required to make everything work. Kind of like a large ‘code sandwich’

  1. LAMP, (Not the Meme) , this ‘code sandwich’ aka stack as I prefer to call it, contains one needed component from each category required for the whole stack to function together.

  2. Convenient because it uses the same or similar language as a front end language to create back end stuff, so it eliminates the need to learn a new language.

  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    LAMP is a classic and popular backend stack.
  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Since Javascript is already used on the client-side, you only use a single language over your whole application.
#39
  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    Information is stored in a database
  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Backend developers protect the backend code to insure the code is not compromised, backend developers also deploy the code used on a site and optimize said code to handle large amounts of traffic.
