3. Back-End Development

  • Back-end development involves creating the server-side logic that handles data processing, authentication, and other operations that happen behind the scenes. This includes working with programming languages such as Python, Java, Ruby or Node.js, and using frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Django, or Express to build the server-side of the application.
  • The popular back-end tools and frameworks used in Full Stack Web Development:
    • Programming languages such as Python, Java, Ruby and Node.js
    • Back-end frameworks such as, Django, Springboot, Ruby on Rails Express, and Flask
    • Databases such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and SQLite
    • Server environments such as Apache and Nginx
    • Web services and APIs such as RESTful APIs and GraphQL
