Back-End

What is Back-End?

In the client-server model, the server is usually considered the back end and the client is usually considered the front end, even when some presentation work is actually done on the server itself. The terms front end and back end refer to the separation of concerns between the data access layer (backend), and the presentation layer (front end) of a piece of software, or the physical infrastructure or hardware. The server-side (or "backend") code usually resides on the server, often far removed physically from the user.

In telecommunication, the front can be considered a device or service, while the back is the infrastructure that supports the provision of service. In software architecture, there may be many layers between the hardware and end-user. The front is an abstraction, simplifying the underlying component by providing a user-friendly interface, while the back usually handles data storage and business logic.

Back-end in Software

  • In content management systems, the terms backend may refer to the end-user facing views of the CMS and administrative views, respectively.
  • In speech synthesis, the backend converts the symbolic phonetic representation into actual sounds.
  • For major computer subsystems, the backend launches the programs of the operating system in response.
  • In compilers, the backend works with the intermediate representation to produce code in a computer output language. The backend usually optimizes to produce code that runs faster. The frontend/backend distinction can separate the parser section that deals with source code and the backend that generates code and optimizes. Some designs, such as GCC, offer choices between multiple front ends (parsing different source languages) or back ends (generating code for different target processors).

Back-end in Hardware

  • In processor design, backend design would be the process of mapping that behavior to physical transistors on a die.
Example of Backend as a Web Development Project
  • Scripting languages like PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl, Node.js, or Compiled languages like C#, Java, or Go
  • Automated testing frameworks for the language being used
  • Application Data Access
  • Application Business Logic
  • Database administration
  • Scalability
  • High availability
  • Security concerns, authentication, and authorization
  • Software Architecture
  • Data transformation
  • Backup methods and software

Note: The Backend positions, despite possibly working on one product, have a very distinct set of skills.

Interconnecting Devices

Interconnecting Devices An Interconnecting devices is a network device. It used to transfer data from one computer to other computer with the help of network devices. There are five categories of interconnecting devices are such as. Router  Hubs  Switches/Bridge  Repeater  BRouter Repeater: Now I am going to tell you the repeater is an electronic device that used to receive and send a signal. It amplifies the signal and noise. It provides transmission of the signal.  HUB (Hyper User Bus):  In this, it used to link several computers in the same network. It based on broadcasting, and it sends the data to all computers and repeats the signal which receives a signal from one port and copies to other port and traffic are high. Bridge / Switch:  In this, we can see the interconnecting devices which can divide a single network into two or more segment are called Bridge / Switch.  It has multiple ports like 2, 4, 16, and 32. The Switch main...

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

  What is Virtual Private Network (VPN)? A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure connection between two private networks over a public network (in other words, over the Internet). All the data that flows over the VPN is encrypted. So anyone who steals packets from the VPN will find them unintelligible; only the parties on either end of the VPN are able to decrypt the packets. VPN connections are often called tunnels. Because they provide an isolated pathway from one point to another through the Internet. The only way to gain meaningful access to a VPN tunnel is at either end. Example for VPN Connections VPNs are used for There are two common uses for VPNs: To provide remote workers with secure access to your company network: To do that, you set up a VPN on the router, and then provide your remote workers with the credentials necessary to access the VPN. The remote workers can run a software VPN client on their home computers or laptops to connec...

Printer

What is Printer? Another widely used output device is a printer and it is a computer peripheral device. A printer produces a hard copy of a processed text or a result. A hard copy refers to a permanent human-readable text or graphics taken on physical print media such as paper or transparency. A printer will use toner to provide a quality print on paper, a toner is a replaceable material. Once the toner gets empty we can refill it and reuse it.  Most of the printers are used for commercial purposes such as private offices, industries, government offices, photo studios, etc,. Most of the printers are used to print emails, documents, files, images, color photos, color documents, color posts, banners, advertisement posters, etc,. There are the following 5 types of printers such as dot matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, dye-sublimation printer, and plotter printer this are all the printer which uses nowadays for a printing purpose. A printer is characterized by the followin...
