In the 21st century if you don't know how to program then you don't belong here. It's hard but it's true, look around you and you will find most of the things run through programming.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This blog will be a part of a very big series that will be about web development and how to become a full-stack web developer.

This article could be a little big for some of you who are going through who is the full-stack developer for the first time, I request you to read it and if you don't get something refer to the youtube video below that will soon be uploaded.

The backend consists of three parts:-

  1. A server

    The computer which is operating 24/7 in which your website is running.

  2. An application

    A back-end application or program supports front-end user services, and interfaces with any required resources.

  3. Database

    A database is a systematic collection of data. Some examples of the database are:-

    • MySQL, SQLite, Postgres
    • MongoDB, Cassandra, Apache storm, Sphinx
    • VoltDB and MemSQL

    Don't get confused, Examples are just for reference. The database that we will learn is MongoDB

  • Collaboration
  • version control(tracking version & Controlling it)
  • keeps track of everything- who edited, when edited, what changes are made
