Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
Because if they already know JavaScript, they can work with the same language when programming backend.

1.) Database / Server
2.) 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.) set of backend technologies
4.) LAMP. It stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).
5) NodeJS is a JavaScript server-side backend framework for the most widely used frontend language Javascript. JavaScript is also used on the client-side, you have a single language over the entire application.

  2. Write server-side code, ensure server-side code can handle traffic demand, deploying the code in a way that people can use the service.
  3. A technology stack is a set of software and tools used in the development and deployment of web sites and apps i.e. “LAMP”
  4. Django is a popular backend stack as well as Flask
  5. NodeJS is convenient because it is written in Java Script which is also a front end language and is very popular

  1. The backend application stores information on a database.
  2. The backend developers need to write the server-side code, writing code that interacts with a database, ensure that a server-side code is secure and optimized. The backend developers are also responsible for deploying the code online.
  3. The technology stack is a combination of technologies that the developers use.
  4. The classic set of backend technologies is called LAMP. It is an acronym that stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (server), MySQL (database), PHP (server-side language).
  5. NodeJS is convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend because it uses the same programming language - javascript.

  1. How does a backend application normally store information?
    In a database.
  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    Know what is a server and how to work with a server
    Different types of databases
    Knowledge of programming language(s)
    Knowledge of APIs
  3. What is a technology stack?
    A technology stack is composed of:
    Operating system
    Server
    Database
    Server-Side Language
  4. Name a popular backend stack.
    Django
  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Since the frontend developer would be familiar with JavaScript, the developer would not have to learn a new coding language when switching to the backend.

In a database such as MySQL.
2.
Server-side code, code to interact with a database, Ensure the server-side code is secure, Ensure the server-side code handle large volumes of traffic, Deploy the code online, so people can use the service.
3.
It is the Programming Languages, tools, servers, operating systems, and frameworks that combined allow the coding on the web and mobile applications.
4.
LAMP, used to be the most popular one among Back End Developers, LAMP stands for Linux, Apache Webserver, MySQL database and PHP on the server side code.
Also, Python and Javascript/NodeJS.
5.
Because it uses the same language, once NodeJS is a framework of JavaScript on the server-side, it is mainly for those interested in building for web applications.

On a server in a db
write code to access the server, db, ensure code can handle big ammounts of data.
the tech that is used togather.
node.js
because it uses js for front and bck so is more efficient to use as a developer.

  • It’s normally store in a database on the “server-side”
  1. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
  • Write server side code
  • Write code to interact with the database
  • Ensure that the server-side code is secure & free of vulnerabilities
  1. What is a technology stack?
  • Technology stack is a a stack of sever-side apps. LAMP is a good example
  1. Name a popular backend stack.
  • Python; Flask & Django JavaScript; NodeJS
  1. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
  • Because JavaScript can be used on the frontend (client-side), which basically give you a single language over the entire application. Which gives a user one less language to worry or learn about it

  • MEN (MongoDB, Express JS, NodeJS)
  1. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
  • One reason why I recommend 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. This is especially true if you’re moving into backend after gaining experience with web frontend.

  1. How does a back-end application normally store information?
    A back-end app stores info on a server.
  2. Back-end developers need to write server-side code
    that interacts with a database and is secure and free of bugs and vulnerabilities. They need to make sure the code can handle large volumes of traffic from the web.
  3. What is a technology stack?
    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.
  4. Name a popular back-end stack.
    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 P is for PHP, the scripting language.
  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming back-end?
    NodeJS is a server side framework also used on the client side. Its convenient for developing web based apps.

Backend applications usually rely on databases to store information.

Name a few things backend developers need to do.
Backend developers do the parts of the website that you don’t see. In addition to the HTML, CSS and JavaScript of a static site they would setup the Databases and other widgits that make up a dynamic website today.

What is a technology stack?
This refers to the set of technologies used for the backend operations. The operating system, server, database and server-side language for instance. (LAMP)

Name a popular backend stack.
LAMP was popular in the past but others such as Django using Python or NodeJS using JavaScript.
