Backend Development

Backend development focuses on the server-side of web applications, handling data storage, security, and business logic.

Server Technologies

  • Python (Django, Flask)
  • Ruby on Rails
  • PHP (Laravel)
  • Java (Spring)

Databases

  • SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL)

  • ORM (Sequelize, Mongoose)
server.js
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

// Middleware
app.use(express.json());

// Routes
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.send('Hello World!');
});

// Database connection
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb', {useNewUrlParser: true});

// Start server
app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Server running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});
