Backend Technologies - Reading Assignment

[Croyden]

1. Database from a server
2. Writing code to interact with a database, writing server-side code plus ensuring serverside code is optimised to handle enough traffic and to secure against vulnerabilities .
3. Server side applications called LAMP which is the acronym
4. Django
   5 Javascript as you can use it for front end and back end

[ralunascuti]

1. A backend app normally store infos in DATABASE

-writing server side code
-writing code to interact with database
-coming up with system architectures, being clever about how the system does really well for the use-case at hand
-ensuring that 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
3. A technology stack is a combination of operating system, server, database and server side language or a framework which helps the different elements to communicate with each other.
4.DJANGO
5.Because you have a single language over the entire app, that gives you more bang for your buck.

[dhealy7]

1. Database
2. They write code, debug it, test it, maintain it for servers, databases, API’s and all backend functionality
3. Set of programming tools required to manage backend functions
4. LAMP - Linux OS, Apache, MySQL, PHP
5. Because NodeJS is used on backend too, so only need to learn one language

[Gutto13]

1: In a database
2: They need to write the server-side code, they have to ensure their code is free from vulnerabilities, and make sure their code is optimized to allow high volume of traffic
3: It is the combination of all aspects of backend development which include the operating system, the server, the data base and the server side language.
4: FLASK
5: Because it uses the same programming language in the back end development as the front end.

[leppflops]

1. Using a database
2. Write serverside code, read/write to a database to retrive/save information, make sure the code/service is accessible to others, ensure that the serverside code is optimized and secure
3. A suite of languages and frameworks required for a project or any piece of work
4. LAMP
5. Because it leverages one language - JavaScript - across both the front-end and the back-end.

[Dani_Kavcic]

1. Backend applications normaly store their information in a database.

2. Backend developers need to write server-side code, code to interact with 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 volume of traffic and they need to deploy code online so that other people can use your service.

3. A group of server side applications. Take LAMP for example which is Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP programing languages.

4. NodeJS, Django.

5. They can use their skill of NodeJS and use it as it is also used for backend programing.

[CryptoCurlz]

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

2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
   Writing server-side code as well as code to interact with a database. Ensures server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities while being optimized adequately to handle large volumes of traffic. Deploys code online for people to use the service. May likely need to work with additional developers because more than backend development is needed.

3. What is a technology stack?
   The operating system, server, database and server-side language.

4. Name a popular backend stack.
   Classic: LAMP Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language)

   Popular: Flask or Django written in Python.

5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
   NodeJS - brought client-side language (JavaScript) to the server and gives a single language over the entire application. Also, it allowed one less language to be learned as they move from frontend developers to backend.

3. What is a technology stack?
   A tech stack is a list of all the technology services used to build and run one single application
4. Name a popular backend stack.
   JavaScript
5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?

They don’t have to learn a completely new language

3. What is a technology stack?

4. Name a popular backend stack.
   django
5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?

How does a backend application normally store information?
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. Storing the data in a database both reduces the load on the main memory of the server CPU and allows the data to be retrieved if the server crashes or loses power.

Name a few things backend developers need to do.
Some of the things taken care of by backend developers include:

• 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

What is a technology stack?
A technology stack, also called a solutions stack, technology infrastructure, or a data ecosystem, is a list of all the technology services used to build and run one single application.

Name a popular backend stack.
LAMP. It is an acronym that stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).
However, the most well known and popular backend framework in Python is Django.

Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
NodeJS sparked a revolution by bringing a client-side language, JavaScript, to the server.
Since JavaScript is also used on the client-side, you have a single language over the entire application (assuming you’re building a web app). This basically gives you more bang for your buck — you have one language less to learn. This is especially true if you’re moving into backend after gaining experience with web frontend.

@Blaize

Name a popular backend stack.
JavaScript

Hey @Blaize, hope you are great.

JavaScript is a programming language, not a backend stack, maybe you want to redesign the answer

Carlos Z

[Mg85]

1. In a database

2. Write code to interact with a server, ensure it can handle high traffic and free of vulnerabilities

3. LAMP - Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

4. Because it uses the same language.

[JJarego]

1. How does a backend application normally store information?
A: In a database (of which there are several types)

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

• Write server-side code
• Write code to interact with a database
• Ensure the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities
• Ensure the server-side code is optimised enough to handle large volumes of traffic
• Deploy the code online so that other people can use your service

3. What is a technology stack?
A: it refers to the combination of programming languages, tools and frameworks used by developers to create applications

4. Name a popular backend stack.

A few things that backend developers need to are:

• 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

4. Name a popular backend stack.

LAMP. is a backend stack the acronym that stands for is 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 is convenient for front-end developers since JavaScript is also used on the client-side, you have a single language over the entire application, meaning you can program both front end and backend in one language. One has one less to learn language.
