  1. A backend application normally stores information on a database.
  2. A few things backend developers need to do include the following:
  • 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. A technology stack is a set of backend technologies i.e. the language(s)/framework to learn for backend development.
  2. NodeJS (a JavaScript server-side framework built on the Chrome V8 engine and written in C++) is a popular backend stack.
  3. The primary reason NodeJS is convenient for frontend developers who want to start programming backend is because since JavaScript is also used in frontend, you have a single language over the entire application (assuming you’re building a web app).

  1. Backend applications store information in a database e.g. MySQL.

  2. Backend developers need to;

  • write server-side code
  • write code to interact with database
  • ensure server-side code is secure and bug free
  • ensure server-side code is optimized to handle large volumes of traffic

  1. A technology stack is a set of tools, languages and frameworks a developer chooses to use is developing a project.

  2. LAMP - Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (programming language).

  3. NodeJS is a JavaScript server-side language; JavaScript mergers the client-side and server-side languages making it more convenient for frontend developers.

How does a backend application normally store information?
Its stored on a database on a server.

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

What is a technology stack?
It’s a language/framework

Name a popular backend stack.
Python and JavaScript.

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

The reason why NodeJS is convenient over other frameworks is that 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 and you also have one language less to learn.

  1. Backend application stores information on servers, in databases.
  2. BE Developers are responsible for:
    a. writing a server-side code
    b. writing a code to cooperate with database
    c. security of a side-code and lack of vulnerabilities in it
    d. optimalisation of a side-code in the way it can handle large traffic
    e. online deployment, so other actors can work on it.
  3. Technology stack is a set of backend technologies that include: operating system, server, data base, server-side language.
  4. Most known is LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
  5. NodeJS is serving both: front end and backend, so for developer who wants to work on both side it is convenient as he needs to comprehence 1 language only.
