<FAQs>
<Question isActive question='What is Backend Development?'>
<Answer>
<p class='mb-3'>
Backend web development is the part of web development that deals with
the server-side of a web application. This includes creating and
managing the server-side logic, connecting the application to a
database, creating server-side APIs, handling user authentication and
authorization, and processing and responding to user requests. It often
involves the use of programming languages such as Python, Java, Ruby,
PHP, JavaScript (Node.js), and .NET languages.
</p>
<p>
A backend developer is responsible for the development of server-side
components of a web application i.e. working with databases, handling
requests, creating server-side APIs that can be consumed by frontend
developers to retrieve and manipulate data, ensuring the scalability of
the systems i.e. making sure that the backend can handle a high volume
of traffic and is performant, integrating external services like payment
gateways, message queues, cloud services, etc.

> for that language and learn how to install and use external packages into
your applications. Learn the basics of some <span class='bg-yellow-100'
>relational database</span
> e.g. PostgreSQL and learn how to run simple CRUD operations. Optionally,
you can pick up and learn a <span class='bg-yellow-100'
>web framework</span
> for the language of your choice as well. Learn how to build a <span
class='bg-yellow-100'>simple RESTful API</span
> and implement simple Authentication/Authorization into it. While you are
learning all the items mentioned above, don't forget to learn about <span

If you have a background in computer science or a related field, and
have experience with programming, you may be able to become a backend
developer relatively quickly, potentially within a few months. However,
if you are starting with little or no prior experience or education in
