Back-End Web Development/Programming
A back-end developer is a type of programmer who specializes in creating and maintaining the server-side logic, databases, and other components of a web application or software. While front-end developers focus on what users interact with directly, such as the visual elements and user interface, back-end developers work behind the scenes to ensure that the application runs smoothly and efficiently.
Back-end developers typically work with programming languages such as Python, Java, Ruby, PHP, or Node.js, as well as frameworks and tools like Django, Spring Boot, Ruby on Rails, Laravel, and Express.js. They often collaborate closely with front-end developers, designers, and other members of the development team to ensure that the entire application functions seamlessly and meets the needs of users.
