1. In a database on a server,

2. Write server side code and write code that interacts with a database.

3. LAMP (operating system, server, database, and server side language).

4. NodeJS

5. Because it uses a client side language which is Javascript.

[MONEYFLOW_MKHWANAZI]

1. A backend application normally stores information in a database.
2. Backend developers could write server-side code, write code to interact with database, ensure security of server side code, optimize server-side code to handle large volume of traffic, and deploy code online for other people to use the service.
3. The technology stack refers to a set of backend technologies.
4. A popular backend stack is the LAMP, which comprises (a) Linux OS, (b) Apache server, © MySQL database & (d) PHP (server-side language).
5. NodeJS is popular because it’s a server-side JavaScript framework. And if you already know JavaScript (a client-side language), you could spend less time learning the backend.

[versus]

1. A backend application stores informations in a database that resides on a server

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. A tech stack is a list of all the technology services used to build and run one single application.
   For exemple JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP, and ReactJS

4. LAMP for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language)

5. NodeJS over other frameworks is that since 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 — you have one language less to learn.

[cougarpilot]

A backend application normally sotres information on a server, a database, on the cache memory, etc.

Some of the things backend developers do are writing server-side code, design useful and efficient system architectures, work on the security of the server-side code in order to avoid vulnerabilities, ensuring the optimization of the server-side code in order to efficiently manage large volumes of data and deploying the code online in order for people to be able to use the corresponding application or service.

The technology stac is the classic set of backend technologies, called LAMP which stands for Linux operating system, Apache server, MySQL database and PHP open source scripting sever side language.

NodeJS is convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend because it is a JavaScript server-side framework and since JavaScript is also used on the client-side, only a single programming language is needed while designing an entire application covering both, Front End and Back End sides.

4. Name a popular backend stack.

• LAMP, as mentioned at the article.
• L stands for Linux (OS);
• A stands for Apache (which is the web server);
• M stands for MySQL (database);
• P stands for PHP (programming language most used for back-end).

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

3. 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 on top of the other. Group of server-side applications, classic set of backend technology stack is called LAMP for example that stands for Linux (operating system) Apache (server), MySQL (database) and PHP (server-side language).
4. NodeJS, Python Flask and Django, LAMP
5. Because it is written in Java Script which is also a frontend language which means one language for both front and back end programming.

[HAMMERTHOR]

1. How does a backend application normally store information?
   A backend application normally stores information in a database.

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

3. What is a technology stack?
   A technology stack consists of an operating system, a server, a database, and a server-side language.

4. Name a popular backend stack.
   A popular backend stack is the “LAMP”, which stands for Linux operating system, Apache (server), MySQL (database), and PHP (server-side language).

5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
   It’s convenient because NodeJS is a server-side framework that is also used on the client-side.

[Alexlane8]

1. How does a backend application normally store information?

In databases

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

Gain an nderstanding of what a server is and what the different kinds of servers are.
Learn about what a database is and the different kinds of databases.
Gain a fundamental understanding of what HTTP is.
Know what an Application Programming Interface (API) is. Understand the difference between REST APIs and SOAP APIs.
Have some experience with web frontend development first.
• 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 is the framework used. 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). However, NodeJS is becoming a more popular framework being used because it brings a client-side language, JavaScript, to the server

4. Name a popular backend stack.

Flask is a popular backend framework written in Python. However, the most well known and popular backend framework in Python is Django.
NodeJS is a JavaScript server-side framework built on the Chrome V8 engine and written in C++. It is extremely powerful and has seen a huge rise in popularity in recent times.

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

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 — you have one language less to learn. This is especially true if you’re moving into backend after gaining experience with web frontend.

[paradox]

1. In a database
2. Write code on the server, to interact with databases and making sure their code is optimised and works as intended.
3. The different technologies you need to build a backend
4. LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP
