What is Back End Development?

Back-end development, also known as server-side development, refers to developing the behind-the-scenes functionality of a website or web application. This includes server-side logic, database management, and integration with third-party APIs.

Back-end developers use programming languages such as Node, Python, Ruby, and Java to build the back end of a website or application. They are responsible for storing and organizing data and ensuring that the front end of the website or application can communicate with the back end to retrieve and manipulate data as needed.

Some of the tasks that back-end developers may be responsible for include:

• Designing and implementing database schemas
• Writing server-side code to handle requests from the front-end
• Integrating with third-party APIs and services
• Implementing security measures to protect data and prevent attacks
• Optimizing database queries for performance

Back-end development is an essential aspect of web development, as it determines how data is stored, organized, and accessed by the front end of a website or application.
