  1. It stores it on a server.

  3. It is a combination of tools (or programming languages) that can be used to in consort.
  4. Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP = LAMP
  5. Because JavaScript is dominant on the frontend and thus using NodeJS would allow fronend devs to transition to the backend more easily.

Backend Technologies - Reading Assignment – Questions


1. How does a backend application normally store information?

In a database

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

Set up databases, write server-side code, optimize server-side code to handle scale, bugs, efficiency, and security.

Other responsibilities include:

o Writing server-side code
o Writing code to interact with a database
o Ensuring that the server-side code is secure and free of vulnerabilities
o Ensuring that the server-side code is optimized enough to handle large volumes of traffic
o Deploying the code online so that other people can use your service

3. What is a technology stack?

A technology stack is a combination of programming languages, tools, and frameworks that 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.

The classic set of backend technologies (the “technology stack”) is called LAMP. It is an acronym that stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).

The back end consists of a server, an application (OS, Web server, Programming language, Web framework), and a database.

An example would be:
LAMP is the abbreviation for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Linux is the server operating system, Apache is the web server, MySQL is the database and PHP is the server-side scripting language.

4. Name a popular backend stack.

  • Flask (written in Python)
  • Django

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

NodeJS is a JavaScript server-side framework. JavaScript is also used on the client-side, so you have a single language over the entire application (if we’re building a web app).

  1. How does a backend application normally store information? - in a database
  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do. - learn HTTP, what servers are, databases, some frontend development, JavaScript
  3. What is a technology stack? - A set of different backend technologies that are used together
  4. a popular backend stack. - LAMP, Django, Flask
  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend? Being able to use NodeJS as a front-end developer allows you to transition easier to the back-end, because NodeJS and JavaScript use the same language.

  1. They use databases
  2. a. Writes serverend / backend code.
    b. Handles code which interacts with database
    c. Ensures security & performance of application
  3. A combination of programming languages / frameworks that developers use in tandem to create applications. For examples ReactJs for the frontend, Flask for the backend and Sqlite for as database.
  4. Django
  5. Client side uses Javascript for their scripts. NodeJs allows developers to use this same language to develop backends.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    Using a databse to store information wanting to be recalled

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Write server side and database code
    Write code that interacts with the database
    Ensure the security and optimisation of storage & traffic volume of the server side code
    Deploy code online

  3. What is a technology stack?
    This is the layering of the technologies and programming languages required to store and link communication from the front end GUI to the back end data source.
    Example of classic LAMP
    Linux (operating system the computer is running)
    Apache (server for the database)
    MySQL (database programming and manipulation code)
    PHP (server-side code)

  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    Newer frameworks are replacing LAMP with Pythons Django and Javascript NodeJS being popular.

  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    NodeJS fits both Frontend and Back end development so only 1 language is required to do everything.
