1- In a database
2- Write server-side code and code to interact with a database, ensuring the server is secure and optimized to ensure large traffic volume, and deploy code online in other to other people can use your service
3- It’s a functioning system of components that integrate os, server, database, and server-side code, like LAMP
4- NodeJS
5- The language can be used on the client-side and on the server-side, so it’s only required to know one language

Welcome to the discussion about this reading assignment.

Leave your answers to the questions below in this thread. If you have any questions or you want to discuss something connected to the assignment feel free to do it in this thread as well, but please everything to the topic.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information? Server or database
  2. **Name a few things backend developers need to do.**1) Write server-side code, 2) Write code to interact w/ database 3) Ensure server code is secure & free of vulnerabilities 4) Ensure code is optimized to handle traffic 5) Share code on-line with others
  3. What is a technology stack? Linus, Apache, MySQL, PHP
  4. Name a popular backend stack. NodeJS, Flas, Django
  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend? More efficient because programmer only needs to learn one language.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    In a database. MongoDB is one of the most popular.
  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Write server-side code, write code to interact with a database, secure the server-side code (eliminate vulnerabilities), ensure code is optimized to handle large volume traffic.
  3. What is a technology stack?
    A list of all the technology services used to build and run one single application.
  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    LAMP. Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. Although this is being replaced.
  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Because it uses Javascript which is also used on the frontend side. One programming language transfers well between the front and backend.

  1. Backend information is stored on a server.
  2. Backend developers write code, check for vulnerabilities, ensure volume/traffic capabilities, and oversee deployment.
  3. A technology stack is the full set of 1) operating system; 2) server; 3) database; and 4) server-side language.
  4. LAMP
  5. NodeJS uses JavaScript on the server side and on the client side, so one single language is used over the entire applciation.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    In a Database located on a server
  2. 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 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?
    The set of backend technologie that makes up the “backend”, which consists of LAMP:
  • Linux (the OS)
  • Apache (webserver)
  • MYSQL (the Database)
  • PHP (server-side programming language)
  1. Name a popular backend stack.
    LAMP
  2. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Because Javascript is a Frontend development language, which through NodeJS can now be utilized for backend development.

  1. By saving them inside a database;
  2. Writing server-side code and other code to interact with a database
    Ensuring that the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities and is optimised enough to handle large volumes of traffic
  3. Technology stack are classic set of backend technologies. Operating system, server, database, server-side language
    4.LAMP: Linux , Apache, MySQL , PHP.
  4. NodeJS is more convenient because is written in JavaScript so you have one single language over the entire application which means that you have one language less to learn.

1. How does a backend application normally store information?
It stores the information as a database on the server

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

  • Building & Integrating APIs
  • Creating, Integrating & Managing Databases
  • Developing & Deploying Content Management Systems

3. What is a technology stack?
A technology stack is a collection of programming Tools, languages & frameworks that a developer needs to create a certain project.

4. Name a popular backend stack.
A popular Backend Stack is called LAMP:
Linus: 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 you have to learn only one programming language which is JavaScript. JavaScript allows you to do Frontend programming & Backend programming with NodeJS.

1 : The backend application store the info on a server database.

2:Back end developers need to set the database, then write and optimize the server-side code and ensure it is bug proof and will work; then deploy.

3:Technology stacking is the code language combo used to build web and mobile apps.

4:A popular back end stack is Node JS with C++

5: Node Js is popular for front end development is that it uses Javascript

  1. Doing it on the servers of a database.

  2. Writing server-side code, coming up with system architectures, 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 and deploying the code online so that other people can use the service.

  3. It’s a set of programming languages and frameworks used to build backend applications.

  4. The classic set of backend technologies, LAMP: Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

  5. Because it uses JavaScript, which is probably the most widely used language to build on the client-side and front-end developers must be familiar with it and they can use it to program on the server-side too.
