  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    on the server

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

  • writing server side code
  • write code to interact with the database
  • ensure security of the database
  • ensure performance of the server (that the code is efficient)
  1. What is a technology stack?

= a bundle of software which works together (ie. LAMP)

L - Linux (for operating system)
A - Apache (server)
M - My SQL (database)
P - PHP (server side language)

  1. Name a popular backend stack.
  • backend langauges like Python and Java Script
  • frameworks like Django or Flask
  1. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?

since it is build on Java Script which is a language both used for frontend and backend.

  1. Through the server and the database.

    • writing server-side code

    • writing code to interact with a database

    • ensuring that the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities

    • ensuring that the server-side code is optimised enough to handle large volumes of traffic

    • deploying the code online so that the other people can use you service

  3. A technology stack is a classic set of backend technologies.

  4. LAMP. It’s an acronym that stamds for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

  5. NodeJS is the framework for JavaScript, which is being used for both frontend and backend programming. So in this way is more convenient if you want to go from frontend to backend, because you have a single language to learn.

  1. On a server from a database.
  2. Writing server code, to interact with a database, ensure security, ensure volume of traffic
    optimisations.
  3. It’s a set of programming languages and frameworks used to build backed aplications.
  4. LAMP,LINUX,APACHE,MySQL,PHP.
  5. Fronted developers will be familar with JavaScript. NodeJS runs on the JavaScript
    language making it easier to switch to backed without having to learn another language.

How does a backend application normally store information?
A backend application stores the information in a database.

Name a few things backend developers need to do.

  • Writing server-side code
  • Writing code to interact with a database
  • Ensuring that the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities
  • Ensuring that the server-side code is optimized enough to handle large volumes of traffic
  • Deploying the code online so that other people can use your service

What is a technology stack?
A technology stack is a set of technologies, software, apps etc. that are used in the development and deployment of websites, apps and other digital products.

Name a popular backend stack.
LAMP, which stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
NodeJS introduces the JavaScript language to the server-side. You have therefore one language for both the front- and the backend.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    backend stores information on a Database and acessed through a server

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    creates codes , able to direct traffic to access data in the data base optimize server side and security.

  3. What is a technology stack?
    technology stacks are layers of systems that make up the applications and solutions in the database

  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    lamp is one and another is CRUD

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    because node js runs on the java script language so it can be used through the front and backend making it easier to execute the programs as you are only using one language

#392

LAMP yes, but could you please describe about CRUD?

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

  1. How does a backend application normally store information? Inside Databases.

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do. Write Server Side Code, write code to interact with databases, make sure server side code is secure and bug free, optimize server side code enough for heavy traffic volumes, and deploy online code so that others can interact with the service.

  3. What is a technology stack? The classic set of backend technologies (the “technology stack”) is called LAMP. It is an acronym that stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

  4. Name a popular backend stack. NodeJS and Django.

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend? Since JavaScript is also used on the client-side, you have a single language over the entire application. This allows one language less to learn. It’s especially true when moving into backend after gaining experience with web frontend.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    Answer - the backend app normally store the information in a server and it is fetched from a database.
  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Answer - the things the the backend developers do are the flowing:
  • Writing server-side code
  • Writing code to interact with a database
  • Ensuring that the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities
  • Ensuring that the server-side code is optimised enough to handle large volumes of traffic
  • Deploying the code online so that other people can use your service
  1. What is a technology stack?
    Answer - The classic set of backend technologies is calles the “technology stack” and is called LAMP. It is an acronym that stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).
  2. Name a popular backend stack.
    Answer - one of the most popular technology stack languages are - Python and JavaScript.
  3. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Answer - NodeJS is a JavaScript server-side framework built on the Chrome V8 engine and written in C++. So, JavaScript is used on both client-side and server-side, therefore as a stating programmer you have to learn one less language to be able to handle the entire wen application.

Reading Assignment: Backend Technologies

1. How does a backend application normally store information?

In a database

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

Decide a tech stack to build on, make sure that the server and software is secured from hackers(DDOS attacks, and SQL injections ), if it’s a important/ critical service, a load balances to handle system and network resources, eventual a r edundant server farm to keep the service online 24/7/365.

3. What is a technology stack?

The typ e of technology used on the backend, as OS to run the Web-server upon , type of web-server, type of database and programming language/ API to use for communication.

4. Name a popular backend stack.

LAMP backend (Linux Apache MySQL PHP)

MEAN (Mong o DB Express Angelus Node JS)

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

As you have a single language over the client and backend side, saving time as it’s less to learn.

  1. A back end application usually stores data on a server or in a database.

  2. Back end developers write the back end code,write the code to interact with a database, ensure the serever side code is immutable as possible, ensure the sever can handle heavy traffic,and deploying the code to the user.

  3. The technology stack is a set of backend technologies.

  4. LAMP is a classic backend stack consisting of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

  5. NodeJS is convenient for front end developers who want to learn backend developing because they already know Javascript, which means they only have to know 1 language.

It stores the Information in a Database.

Writing server-side code

Writing code to interact with a database

Ensuring that the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities

Ensuring that the server-side code is optimised enough to handle large volumes of traffic

It is called LAMP and it is an acronym that stands for:

Linux (operating system)

Apache (server)

MySQL (database)

PHP (server-side language)

Linux (operating system)

MySQL (database)

Those are programming languages, not backend stacks, maybe you want to redesign your answer.
