Back End Developer Roadmap

What is Back End?

All mobile apps and websites are made of two parts: Front End and Back End.

When you log in to a website with your username and password and the site remembers you every time, that is the work of a Back-End developer.

Storing all the data, controlling who can access which information, and many other things that users never see — all of these are done by the Back-End developer.

Who is a Back-End Developer?

A Back-End Developer is the person who gives “life” to a software or website.

For example, when you want to sign up on a website and you wait for a verification code to be sent to your phone, it is the Back-End developer who makes that SMS get sent to you.

Who will be more successful in Back-End development?

If you have the traits below, you will probably do better in Back-End programming:

• Someone who enjoys dealing with complex problems
• Someone who likes solving puzzles
• Someone who is careful and detail-oriented
• Someone who isn’t interested in things like colors or visual layout
• Someone who is a natural strategist
• Someone who thinks about different scenarios before doing something
• Someone who likes the “mystery” behind systems and wants to know what happens behind the scenes
• Someone who prefers backstage roles if helping with a TV show
• Someone who doesn’t care about being seen, but wants to build the foundations that others rely on

But don’t worry if you don’t have all these traits.

These are not strict rules. If you feel interested in Back-End development, try it!
