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.

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...

Dot Matrix Printer

What is Dot Matrix Printer? A dot matrix printer or impact matrix printer refers to a type of computer printers with a print head that contains a cluster of pins. The pins run back and front on the page and print by impact with striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against a paper similar to a typewriter. The Dot-matrix printers can print at a speed of 500 cps. Therefore a low-resolution dot matrix printers use 9 pins and a high-resolution dot matrix printer uses 24 pins. Then the low-resolution dot matrix is use to apply ink on the surface for layout.  In this a printer is able to print different patterns but not only the specific characters. Then a Dot-matrix printers are work as a non-impact method such as laser printers or inkjet printers where they also use the same process for printing. In this each dots produce by a wire or pin which is a tiny metal rod. The tiny electromagnet give the power to move forward directly small levers and a ribbon mask holder which facing the papers...

Dye Sublimation Printer

What is Dye Sublimation Printer? A dye-sublimation printers is refers to a type of printers. Thus the printer uses a printing process that utilizes a heat to transfer dye to a medium such as a printers paper, a plastic card or a poster paper. The printers are target primarily for printing a high-quality colour applications such as a colour photography and are less well-suite for a text. Therefore, they are commonly use as a dedicated consumer photo printers. The name sublimation was first applied due to a dye transition between the solid and a gas states without going to a liquid state and a dye-sublimation heat transfer imprinting a printers is use to imprint on a textiles by creating a transfer design in a imprinting printer.  Then the all-over print process is done at a lower temperature with a higher pressures. In this there are separate panels which use for each colour therefore a dye is stored in the polyester ribbon. The size of the colour panel is a medium which is use for ...
