How does a back-end application normally store information?

Databases

Name a few things backend developers need to do.

Code that interacts with DB, heavy duty data-processing apps on the server, retrieve data from external service through API.

What is a technology stack?

It is a “stack” of inter-operational parts that builds a working server environment to deliver a service, LAMP for example

Name a popular backend stack.

Django, Flask, LAMP(old school)

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

Because it brings front end languages to the back-end which helps with the transfer when you don’t have to start over with a new language.

  2. Name a few things backend developers need to do.
    • Write server-side code
    • Write code to interact with a database
    • Write code for APIs
    • Ensure code is secure and is not vulnerable to hackers or other failures
    • Write code that is optimized for performance and can scale as required
    • Deploying the code online so that other people can use your service
  3. What is a technology stack? A technology stack is a set of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, databases, servers, and other elements, that are necessary to develop any kind of software.
  4. Name a popular backend stack. LAMP
  5. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend? Because it is based on JavaScript and it allows a developer to immediately use their front end JavaScript experience to start working on backend development. There is no need to learn a new programming language.

  1. A back end application stores it’s information on a database on the server side.

  2. Back end developers are involved with writing code on the servers, ensuring it works efficiently and communicates with the front end as well as deploying the code and keeping it up to date and efficient.

  3. Different systems, tools, languages and applications are engineered to work together to create a working product. The various grouped technologies in this case is referred to as a stack. ‘Tech stack is the combination of programming languages, tools and frameworks that the developers use to create web and mobile applications.’

  4. LAMP / MEAN

  5. NodeJs is convenient for developers because it is a JavaScript based language, and NodeJs brings this server-side, making it easier for front end developers to also become involved in back end.

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

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

  • Write the code on server-side, meaning, the service itself.
  • Ability to deploy a service in a network or internet.
  • Maintenance routines on service to check vulnerabilities(if any) and efficiency.

  1. What is a technology stack?
    A set of backend technologies, meaning an “all-in-one tool box” for backend development, most known is LAMP.

  2. Name a popular backend stack.
    NodeJs, MongoDB, MySQL, LAMP, WAMP, phpmyadmin… can i include docker?

  3. Why is NodeJS convenient for front-end developers who want to start programming backend?
    Easy to use tool box for client-side to server-side development, since both use the same programming language (JavaScript).

It stores the information in a database.

Writing code (server-side; to interact with database) and ensuring it to be secure+optimized for higher scales of traffic

A technology stack is a bunch of technologies used to fulfill a certain job. A classic technology stack for backend is LAMP.

lamp: linux, apache, mysql, php

Because as a front-end developer you already learned javascript, and since nodsJS is a javascript framework you dont have to learn an extra language from scratch when dealing with backend
