Technology

We cover technology from a developer perspective. A developer perspective means we're invested in its future potential, and we want to get our hands on the tools.

We care about the details, and we want to understand the key concepts before the details. We want to get the basics over and done with quick, but understand them in a way that's accurate and cohesive.

It also means we're excited about technology, and probably more inclined to support trial-and-error optimism than caution in the pursuit of that future potential.

Back-end Development

Back-end development is the process of developing the software and systems that support an application or website. This includes everything from writing code to setting up servers and databases.

Back-end developers are responsible for making sure an application is functional and efficient, and they work closely with front-end developers to create a well-rounded user experience.

Back-end development is a complex process, and there are a variety of topics that fall under it. Some of the most common back-end development topics include:

PHP

PHP is a server-side scripting language that enables you to create dynamic websites. PHP code runs on the server, and the results are then sent to the client browser. This makes PHP an ideal choice for websites that need to handle a lot of traffic.
