  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.
    Developers need to write server-side code which can interact with a database, ensure that the code is robust enough to be secure and able to handle large amount of traffic. Besides, they need to deploy the code online so that other people can use the service.

  3. What is a technology stack?
    The technology stack is a set of software solutions which are being used to write functional backend code. Every solution has its own role.

  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    Very popular stack is so called LAMP. It stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. Python and JavaScript are also well known.

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Because with NodeJS which is actually a JavaScript server-side framework a developer has a tool which is applicable for both front- and backend development.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?

Data / information is stored in a database - of which there are several popular types using different code for their operations.

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

Backend devs write several types of code -

1) Code for the server’s own internal operations

2) Code for different types of clients to interact with the server -
including database interactions

3) Designing/coding the types of system architectures
(both hard/softwares) required for different use-cases -
including mgmt. of overall efficiency/effectiveness vis-a-vis enterprise profitability.

4) Managing overall Security issues of hardware - software - data

  1. What is a technology stack?

A stack is simply a collection of different kinds of software components necessary
to perform the overall functions of a server serving up requests from/to a client.

  1. Name a popular backend stack.

The LAMP stack is the classic backend stack - composed of Linux, Apache, MySQL, & PHP.

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

There is only 1 language to learn for both front and back-end functioning.

  1. A backend application normally stores information in a database.

  2. Backend developers:

  • write server-side code & ensure that it is secure, free of vulnerabilities & optimised enough to handle large volumes of traffic
  • write code to interact with a database
  • deploy code online so that other people can use their service
  1. A technology stack is a classic set of backend technologies & is called:
  • L - Linux - operating system
  • A - Apache - server
  • M - MySQL - database
  • P - PHP server-side language
  1. Modern backend technologies are quickly replacing LAMP & other more traditional ones due to their power, simplicity & incredible community support.

Backend frameworks written in:

  • Python: Flask, Django
  • JavaScript: NodeJS:
    • which sparked a revolution by bringing a client-side language to the server
    • a server-side framework built on Chrome V8 engine & written in C++
  1. NodeJS is convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend because JavaScript is used on the client-side & developers have a single language over the entire application.

  2. Name a popular backend stack.
    Django

  3. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    This way you only have one programming language to learn and it makes it all easier cause the program front-to-back is in one language.

  1. A backend application will store information (data) in a database.

  2. Backend developers must set up a database for information to be stored. They then need to set up API’s for the front end of the application to connect to. They need to ensure the backend code is bug-free, secure and able to handle great deals of traffic through efficient code and computing resources.

  3. A technology stack is the combination of programming languages, tools and frameworks used by the backend of an application. This includes the serer operating system, the web server software, the database language and the back-end coding language.

  4. The most popular backend stack is the LAMP stack, which includes:

    • Linux Server Operating System
    • Apache Web Server software
    • MySQL database management system
    • PHP server-side programming language.

  5. NodeJS is so convenient for front-end developers because it means they are able to program both the front-end and back-end in the same programming language. As JavaScript has such a large community, NodeJS became an easy way for many people to start doing back-end development with a previously front-end language they are familiar with.

  1. Backend applications normally store information in a database, on a server.

  2. Backend developers are responsible for writing the code for the servers. Making sure the information stored in the database can be accessed easily and is secure.

  3. A technology stack is a set of technologies (ie programming languages) that are combined to make a full application.

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

  5. NodeJS is a JavaScript framework that is used to write server-side code. This is convenient for frontend developers as JavaScript is predominantly used for frontend so they should already be familiar with it.
