[TMFM7]

1. Stored in a database

2. • Creating the server.
   • Security of the database.
   • Making APIs available for the frontend components to request.

3. Backend tech.

4. Dangerous

5. Front and backend language

[dazzles]

it store information on a database

ensuring that the server side code is free from vulnerabilities
that it can handle large amounts of traffic
make the code available so others can interact with the service

A combination of operating system, server, database and language
Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP

Node JS

Its one language over the entire application can its a relatively easy language to use

[Sam_Avey]

1. A backend application normally stores information in a database.
2. A few things backend developers need to do are, code to interact with database, make sure the server side code is bug free, ensure that the server side code is optimized to handle large volumes of traffic and deploy the code online.
3. A technology stack is the combination of programming languages, tools and frameworks that the developers use to create web and mobile applications. A stack is created when one layer of application is built atop the other. A stack contains different layers of components/servers that developers use to build software applications and solutions.
4. A popular backend stack is LAMP: abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. Linux is the server operating system, Apache is the web server, MySQL is the database and P is for PHP, the scripting language.
5. Node JS is convenient for front end developers because it removes the need to learn another programming language.

[Erik1]

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

3. 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.”-mixpanal.com
4. Name a popular backend stack.
   LAMP- This is an abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. Linux is the server operating system, Apache is the web server, MySQL is the database and P is for PHP, the scripting language.
5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
   NodeJS is a JavaScript language. JavaScript can be used for both front and back end programming.

[CryptoCowboy1311]

[L0rdStitch]

1. How does a backend application normally store information?

• In a database

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

3. What is a technology stack?

4. Name a popular backend stack.

• Python

5. 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. Hence reducing the need to learn a different language to program back-end.

[matthewjrnewman]

1. How does a backend application normally store information?
   In a database
2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
   Server side code/ code to interact with database/ make sure no issues/
3. What is a technology stack?

4. Name a popular backend stack.
   LAMP

   Similar language for front and back end development

[Jesse_Bowles]

1. It store it on a server database
2. -code to interact with database
   -make sure server side code is not vulnerable
   • make sure the code can take on large volume
     3 It is the layers of the backend development. The path the information travels
     4.LAMP
3. There is no need to learn a second programming language

[BallzOfCheeze]

1. How does a backend application normally store information?
   A database (ex. MySQL)

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

3. What is a technology stack?
   It’s the combination(group) of different technologies together to create a working app. (ex. L(inux) A(pache) M(ySQL) P(HP).

4. Name a popular backend stack.
   NodeJS, Flask, Django

5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
   Since it uses JavaScript as a programming language (which is a frontend language) you get more bang for you buck since you only need to learn 1 language for both front and back end

[wfree02]

1. Usually in an SQL Database
2. Manage and maintain the code that makes sure the technologies and hardware run smoothly at scale
3. Literally a stack of technologies like operating systems, servers, databases and side server languages
4. LAMP: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP
5. Because a popular back end language is Java so it’d be easier to transition from the front end language to the back end language. Lots of similarities between NodeJS and Java

[Chris83]

1. In a database on the backend server. Like Mongo DB or MySQL.
2. They need to learn a backend programming language like javascript, node js or python. They need to understand some of how frontend works and how backend is connected with the frontend. They need to understand databases.
3. LAMP - Linux (os), Apache (server) , MySQL (database) , PHP (code), all what is needed for a functioning backend.
4. Flask, Django.
5. Because it relies on the same language as frontend, javascript.

Answers for Backend Technologies Reading Assignment

1. Information is normally stored in a database and fetched by the server.

2. Backend developers write code that interacts with the database, they write server-side code ensuring its functionality and free of vulnerabilities, optimize the site for large traffic and deploy code online to be put into service by users.

3. The technology stack is a set of languages/frameworks used for backend development. LAMP is an example of one of these technology stacks. It uses four technologies together, which is where we get our “stack” from in order to create functionality on the backend. Linux; our operating system, Apache; our server, MySQL; our database, & PHP; our server-side language. These four technologies make up our LAMP stack.

4. LAMP. Linux, Apache, MySQL, & PHP.

5. Because this gives you the advantage of having one less language to learn & a single language over the entire application.

[Jip_Zeegers]

• ensuring that server-side is optimized and can handle large traffic volumes
• deploying online so others can use it.

3. What is a technology stack?
   a set of technologies used for a certain purpose, in this case creating a backend

4. Name a popular backend stack.
   LAMP. Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP.

5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
   NodeJS uses Javascript for both frontend and backend. frontend developers have experience in this language.

[Lehigr2]

1. How does a backend application normally store information?
   Into a database
2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
   Getting the database to interact with the frontend. Writing server side code. Deploying the finished product. Making sure the the site is secure and functioning properly.
