Backend Development

Backend development is a type of programmer who creates the logical backend and core computational logic of a website, software or information system.

Backend developers are responsible for building out the server side in web applications. So what makes the front end of a website possible? Where is all that data stored? This is where the backend comes in. The back end part of the website consists of a server, a database and an application. In order to make the server, database and application to communicate with each other, back end developers use server-side languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, Java and .Net to build an application, and tools like MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server to find, save, or change data and serve it back to the user in front-end code. Backend developers primarily develop and maintain the core functional logic and operations of a software application or information system. The key job role of a back-end developer is to ensure that the data or services requested by the front-end system or software are delivered through programmatic means.

A backend developer could just be focused on a database and providing an API to it or on a server language like PHP and those mentioned so far and provide an API to it. Their work would need to be accessible to many other backend applications such as the database developer example and more to many front end applications. The backend developer will not how all of those front ends work but provide a server side interface such as a REST interface for those multiple front end technologies to access such as a login. Server developer can also make user interfaces that are probably less robust for administrative access to their code, data and functionality. Backend developers are typically work with programming languages like PHP, Python, Go and JavaScript libraries like Node.
