  1. How does a backend application normally store information? - Serverside on a database.

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do. - Write server-side code, write code that interacts with a database, ensure the security, accuracy, scalability and usability of the code and ensure the code written is able to handle the appropriate volume of traffic.

  3. What is a technology stack? - Consists of 2 main components; Frontend and Backend Stack. Frontend consists of HTML, CSS & JavaScript. Backend [ an application or project
    ] consists of programming languages, frameworks, a database, front & backend tools and applications connected by APIs.

  4. Name a popular backend stack. - Django

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend? - JavaScript is used for development client side and NodeJS helps in the execution of JavaScript code server side. Therefore you are able to work across the entire framework with one language.

  1. In database.
  2. Writing code for the server side and for interacting with database; Securing the server-side code; Optimizing the server-side code for potential high traffic volume; Deploying the code online for client use.
  3. A technology stack refers to a set of technologies for web/app development.
  4. Flask
  5. NodeJS is convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend because the same language (JavaScript) is used on both the client-side and the server-side, hence more time and cost efficient as the front-end developer does not need to learn another language for backend programming.

1 - The backend stores info in a database (and perhaps a session cache)
2 - A few things that backend developers do 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 optimized enough to handle large volumes of traffic
  • Deploying the code online so that other people can use your service
    3 - A database and services layer, along with a front-end development language
    4 - Popular backend stack is NodeJS and MongoDb
    5 - NodeJS is convenient because it’s server-side javascript so the whole website can be written in javascript

    • In a database

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

    • Handle business logic, handle database interactions, participate in making infrastructure decisions

    • Spring :wink:

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

    • I honestly to this day do not understand why JavaScript is considerate appropriate for back-end development. I am yet to hear an argument that can change my mind. But to answer the question - it is just that front-end developers are usually well versed in JavaScript and when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
  • In data bases

  1. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    -A backend developer is responsibel for server side code ad will therefore neeed to write code to store and receive cotent from data bases efficiently. Furthermore the develeoper neeeds to be able to come up with an architecture for the system which is scalable and efficient.

  2. What is a technology stack?
    It is a set of technologies including front end adn backnd stacks. Backend stack includes programming languages, database prograamming, server programming and OS.

  3. Name a popular backend stack.
    LAMP;
    Linux (operating system)
    Apache (server)
    MySQL (DB)
    PHP (server sidee language)

There is also FLASK, which is a framework in Python
And there is NodeJS which is a framework in JavaScript

However this is seen as a little antiqu
5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?

Because you can learn java and use it for front and back end

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    You use JavaScript language in NodeJS and in front-end, so you only need to know one programming language.

LAMP… Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

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

You get ‘more bang for your buck’, so to speak because you have one less language to learn since JavaScript works for front end and back end - across the entire application.

  1. Backend application stores information on a server from the database
  2. Back end developers need to do the following:
    -Write server side code
    -Write code to interact with Database
    -Ensure that the server side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities
    -Optimise server side code so it is scalable and ca handle lots of traffic
    -Deploy the code online for usability of service by other people
  3. Technology Stack is a functioning system or software bundle of components . eg. LAMP connotes Linus operating System/Apache HTTP server/MySQL relational database management system/PHP programming language
  4. A popular backend stack MEAN, MongoDB database management system/ Express backend framework/Angular js-front end web framework/Node .js-backend run time environment. This runs on Java script
    5, Node.js saves developers from learning the frontend language. It allows us to use JavaScript on the frontend as well as the backend. In a mean stack nature one can build a product with clear attributes, and without worrying about migrations one can change and alter the data layers. Its a Nosql environment that is easy to use. Developers only learn and use one language for client and server side.

How does a backend application normally store information?
Information is stored on a server.

Name a few things backend developers need to do.
Backend developers need to be able to write code to make sure the Frontend runs smoothly, Backend developers need to provide stability to the program so that it works well and communicates with other programs via APIs. Backend developers need to make sure the server can handle a large volume of data. Backend developers need the provide security so that the program is not venerable or compromised in anyway. Backend developer need to understand frameworks, programing languages and technologies.

What is a technology stack?
LAMP is classic technology stack however LAMP is being replaced with more modern technology. Python and Javascript are the two languages that are used for the backend frameworks. Backend frameworks such as Flask and django are written in Python, while NodeJS is written in JavaScript.

Name a popular backend stack.
NodeJS

  1. The technology stack is the set of technologies used to deliver the service and includes the network infrastructure, system hardware, usually handled by the OS, the server application, the database and the programming language/s and any other tools/frameworks used.

  2. LAMP: Linux (OS), Apache (Server application), MySQL (Database), PHP (server-side language).

  3. Node.js is convenient for Frontend developers wanting to move to backend development as it’s the same language.
