  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Create and manage API’s
    Create and manage Databases
    Write 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

  3. What is a technology stack?
    Linux(Operating system)
    Apache(Server)
    MySQL(Data Base)
    PHP(server side language)

  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    LAMP

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend? Because it allows developers to write the backend in Javascript meaning that there is no new language to learn because they are using the same language that they use for the front in the backend as well.

  2. Writing server-side code, writing code to interact with a database, looking for vulnerabilities in server-side code, optimizing for large volume of traffic, and deploying the code online for others to use.

  3. It is a list of requisite technologies for building or running an application.

  4. A popular backend stack is LAMP. Linux(operating system), Apache(server), MySQL(database), PHP(server-side language).

  5. NodeJS is convenient because JavaScript can be used server-side as well as it being frontend language. So its one language for client and server.

  1. What is a technology stack?

A group of code based, server-side technologies that work well together to achieve an efficient and desired effect or outcome.

  1. Name a popular backend stack.

LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP

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

Because it is based on Javascript , a coding language that was previously known as a frontend language. This means it’s no longer necessary for programmers to have to learn an entirely new language in order to move from frontend to backend coding.

1.) How does a backend application normally store information?
A.) in a DATABASE. Databases are commonly used on the back-end of web applications. These databases provide an interface to save data in a persistent way to memory. A client might request information that is stored in the database, or a client might submit data with their request to be added to the database.

2.) Name a few things backend developers need to do.
A.) Back-end developers play a critical role on web/App development teams and are responsible for handling data storage and ensuring content gets delivered to the front-end and retreiving data from front end tobe able to deliver correct content delivery to client.
3.) What is a technology stack?

A.) Technology stack is a set of tools for implementing some intended IT idea. As a rule, a tech stack consists of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, various development tools and programming approaches themselves. The synthesis of all of the above determines the viability and competitiveness of the application, its functionality, scalability, and further maintenance.

That stack can be formally divided into 2 parts, i.e. the client-side and the server-side.
4.) Name a popular backend stack.APACHE, PHP, MySQL (Depending on project scope)
5.) Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
A.) NODE JS IS JAVASCRIPT BASED AND JAVASCRIPT IS A FUNDAMENTALSKILLSET OF A FRONT END DEVELOPER, thus making the transition between front end to backend a smoth transition.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    backend application uses database to store information. depending on the framework chosen for server application, some database become natural choice for e.g. NodeJs framework very compatible with MongoDb databse.

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

  • Writing Server side code
  • Writing server side code to connect with database
  • Ensuring server side code is secure, scalable and robust
  • Continuous deployment and integration

  1. What is a technology stack?
    Technology stack is everything that requires to create a Web based application. LAMP which is Linux Operating System, Apache (Server), MySQL (Database) and PHP (programming language) but in recent times many technologies are replacing LAMP
    for e.g. Frameworks like Django written in Python
    another very popular framework is Node.js written in C++ and these can be usedd with IAAS (infrastructure as a service) such as AWS, Microsoft Azure to name a few

  2. Name a popular backend stack.
    Languages: JavaScript, Paython
    Framework: Django, NodeJs
    IAAS: AWS, Microsft Azure
    DBAAS: MongoDb (MLAB), Oracle

  3. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    NodeJs as a framework is very convenient to front end developers since it allows the use of javascript language which is used in front end development of the app for server side code development as well.
    This also keeps the entire application in one language so one less language to learn while building an App

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Write secure server-side code that is optimized for large traffic volumes to be utilized by clients for services. Comping up with compatible system architecture for smooth communications between clients and servers. Testing server-side codes.

  3. What is a technology stack?
    A technology stack is simply a collection (set) of different backend technologies that work together for some purpose, usually as a foundation for systems such as websites, mobile apps, and standalone desktop software.

  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    JavaScript

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    NodeJS is a JavaScript server-side framework, and JavaScript is also used on the client-side. So a frontend developer who has learnt JavaScript does not need to learn another language** (assuming you’re building a web app)

Backend apps usually store information in a database

Backend developers write the server side code, handle requests, interface with databases

A technology stack is a group of applications used by developers

A popular backend stack would be Python with Django, and a database such as MongoDB

NodeJS is convenient because it uses Java Script, which is also used in the front end
