Backend programming languages and their advantages

A backend developer provides functionality for a website or web application, data processing. Therefore, backend developers must be familiar with working with data warehouses. They are also required to be able to work with algorithms of varying degrees of complexity and build architectures for projects. In fact, backend refers to both software and hardware. However, historically, backend has also been clearly distinguished from web-development. And this is currently the most popular area. 

Backend programming languages are used to create applications that run on the server side. With the help of these languages, you can process data, write server logic and work with databases. Some popular backend programming languages are:

A backend developer must know at least programming languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, etc.

Popular programming languages in which backend developers write code are PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, C # and Java. A good backend developer will usually be a master of one of these languages, but will also have the ability to code in 2 or 3 programming languages. Backend developers will also need to be proficient with at least one of the following databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server.

PHP is a common scripting language that is widely used for developing web applications. It is currently supported by a large number of hosting providers and is one of the leading languages used for creating dynamic websites. 

Many content management systems, with backend languages that cannot do JavaScript, are built in the same programming language as many large, complex web applications.

The Java software platform is a set of software products and specifications from Sun Microsystems, formerly an independent company and now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation, that together provide a framework for developing software and integrating it into any cross-platform application.

 Ruby is a dynamic, reflective, interpreted high-level programming language. The language has operating system-independent multiprocessing, powerful dynamic typing, a garbage collector, and many other features. 

Python is a high-level general-purpose programming language aimed at improving programmer productivity and code readability. The Python core syntax is minimalist. At the same time, the standard library contains a large set of useful functions.

A backend developer pays close attention to the architecture of databases, scripts, and websites. The code written by BackEnd developers helps to deliver database data to the browser.

BackEnd developers usually work with developers on the front-end to work on the design of a site or application (or to make changes to this design if necessary) and to develop their code.

Go was developed by Google, has high performance and ease of use.

C# is used to create scalable web applications using the .NET framework.

 These languages are different from each other and are chosen depending on the requirements of the project. Each language has its own advantages and disadvantages, so programmers make a choice based on their needs. Backend programming languages have several advantages. These languages allow you to create applications that run on the server side. The following are the main advantages:

1. Data Ingestion: Receiving and processing requests from users or other systems.

2. Data Processing: Analyzing, correcting, and applying the necessary logic to the received data.

3. Database Management: Performing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, i.e. creating, reading, updating, and deleting data.

4. API Creation: Creating RESTful or GraphQL APIs to communicate with the user interface or other services.

5. Security Provisioning: Establishing authentication (user authentication) and authorization (user permissions control) mechanisms.

6. Error Handling: Detecting and handling errors that occur in the application, and delivering appropriate messages to the user.

7. Logging: Implementing logging functions to monitor system activity and problems that occur.

 8. System Expansion and Optimization: Adding new features as the application grows, improving performance, and optimizing resources.

9. Server Management: When the application is deployed on the server, dealing with server configuration, monitoring, and updates.

These activities represent the main processes performed by backend developers in application development. The goal of each activity is to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the system. 

Conclusion: If the question arises, “How is this organized, or in what sequence are tasks performed?”, Backend should be chosen. Backend programming languages are used to create applications that run on the server side. These languages are used to process data, write server logic, and work with databases.

Poetry from Yongbo Ma

Middle aged East Asian man sits on a wooden bench in front of houses and a fence.

Dream Note: Road Repair

For no apparent reason, he suddenly stood outside a village

rows of poplar forests, neatly staggered, dividing the fields

He halted in the middle of a dirt road—puddles, mud

as if it had just rained, leaving him trapped between

Ahead: endless countryside and a black path stretching on

Behind: a strange village where no one knew his name

villagers seemed to want no part of him

ignoring his awkward plight without a second glance

Just then, eldest brother Yongping abruptly appeared

his calmness offered a momentary sense of peace

 They began stuffing dry soil into the puddles

to repair the road—the blue sky in the puddles

Gradually shrinking, fragmenting, yet the mud remained

too slick to tread, as if the road were sinking deeper

They abandoned the effort, then started urinating there

like in childhood, urine arcing clear and strong

no laughter—their faces grave

ss if this were a duty that must be done

Alone on the road, just the two brothers

the village lay silent, as if long deserted

the fresh post-rain air filled the green fields

No one knows if they ever left safely

记梦:修路

不知怎么他突然就到了一座村庄外面

一排排白杨树林,错落有致,隔断了田野

他停在一条土路中间,水洼,泥泞

似乎刚刚下过雨,他进退不得

向前是无尽的乡野和黑色的小路

向后是陌生的村庄,没有人认识他

村民们似乎也不想与他有任何关联

对他尴尬的处境视而不见

就在这时,大哥永平突然出现了

他的平静让他暂时安下心来

他们开始往水洼里填干土

要把道路修好,水洼里的蓝天

渐渐缩小,破碎,但依然泥泞

不堪涉足,似乎道路在不断下沉

他们放弃了努力,开始向那里撒尿

像童年时一样,尿液的抛物线清晰,强劲

他们没有笑,他们很严肃

似乎这是一件必须完成的任务

路上只有他们兄弟二人

村子里一片寂静,似乎已经无人居住

雨后清新的气息弥漫在绿色的田野里

无人知道,他们是否安全地离开了那里

Poetry from Dustin Pickering

Middle-aged white man with brown hair and eyes standing in a room with some art on the walls. He's got reading glasses and a black tee shirt.

Love

I need you, love

I need you, love,

to show me the darkness 

of your depth.

The abyss of spirit captivates me…

I need you to call the rains

from my darkest skies; 

I will face seizure from the night.

I have waited for your exiled embrace

since the morning winds.

Now, the silence of the moony season

frowns darkly and I am still alone.

Poetry from Mashxura Fazliddinova Nuriddinovna

Central Asian woman in a light colored headscarf and tan coat seated at the end of a long table. Flags at either side of her, gold colored Uzbek text on the wall.

Sun of the Love – My mother

In your pure love, the Sun takes form,

You keep us safe, you keep us warm.

You feed us first, though you go without,

My Heaven, my mother, of that no doubt.

Your hair turns white for all you’ve done,

Yet live for us—your every son.

In life’s long path, you’re my one guide,

Your every word—a truth worldwide.

Dear Mother, may you ever be well,

An angel where our joy shall dwell.

May you and Father long remain,

The crowns of love I can’t explain.

Poetry from Irma Kurti

Middle aged European woman with light blonde hair, a black purse, and a black dress with white trim, on a balcony in front of a leafy tree.

THESE ARE NOT LEAVES

These are not leaves that the autumn

throws on my hair, my shoulders;

they are hands greeting me today

while I drag an old and heavy suitcase

that keeps the seasons we lived together.

These are not raindrops running down

my cheeks, but tears: so limpid and clear.

These are not puddles reflecting now my

face but rivers of thoughts and reflections.

Goodbyes always hurt; they leave you

bitter in the heart, even if, somewhere

out there, a world of magic colors waits…

MY ANIMA, A FEATHER

It was just a quick embrace, like

the elusive flight of a butterfly

brushing in an instant your hair.

It was just a warm hug inside a

body that trembled like a leaf,

that anonymous world, which

was a thousand times much

more familiar than my house.

It was nothing more than a hug,

but who knows why—in those

moments, my anima felt so light,

like a feather that ascends to the sky.

THE SPECTACLE OF THE SKY

It is the same light when I get up fast,

when I run towards the bus like crazy,

when it passes me by and I rest there,

just like a melancholic stain.

It’s the same tree and the same people

I see every day, the same trembling of

leaves and the delicate fall of them.

But the sky shows a diverse spectacle;

sometimes it’s gray, sometimes blue

or covered with a handful of clouds,

so soft and white. It often shows me

a plane that crosses it noisily, just like

a giant bird with its rigid, immovable

wings flying towards the infinite.

Poetry from Dan Flore III

I WISH MY STEPMOM DIDN’T HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER

on Father’s Day 

my stepmom texted me-

“I can’t believe you haven’t called your father!”

I wish I could’ve texted her in 1988-

”I can’t believe you’re a home wrecker!”

but I was just a powerless

lost

10 year old 

made of tears

and I didn’t know what to do but wish

I hadn’t forgotten to call my father today

I was sick in bed

I’m about to call him now

thank god for cell phones

now there’s no chance of my stepmom

Essay from Oyatillo Jabboraliev

Why Are Study Abroad Semesters Valuable for Students?

Meaning of These Programs – What Are They?

A study abroad semester is a life-changing experience – but how exactly?

Costs, Challenges, and Requirements

Nowadays, there are many foreign citizens in my country. Are they just tourists? Not quite. Today we see young people coming from abroad to various parts of our country. The reason is the global student exchange program. This program has a long history and began to develop in the 20th century. It was created to promote cultural and scientific cooperation between countries. A student exchange program allows students to temporarily study at a different university abroad. Through it, students gain knowledge and experience.

Historically, the United States was one of the first countries where such programs became popular, beginning with the Fulbright Program. One of the most well-known is the ERASMUS program – the oldest student exchange program in Europe, launched in 1987. Germany later developed its own version, with the DAAD program starting in 1925. These programs are highly popular among young people.

Experiences of Students:

Many students report positive experiences with exchange programs. Jabboraliev O., who studies at Kuala Lumpur University in Malaysia, said: “I expanded my professional experience through the exchange program. That’s why I’ve worked in many areas of my field.” This shows that exchange programs offer career benefits too.

Dilafruz, a student who studied in Japan, said: “My verbal communication improved significantly.” In particular, her ability to express herself in Japanese grew. This proves students can also benefit linguistically from exchange programs.

Advantages of Student Exchange Programs:

Exchange programs offer many benefits. Students gain new knowledge and boost their academic progress. But that’s not all. Studying abroad helps develop important personal skills, such as:

– Intercultural Competence: Students learn to understand and respect cultural differences by engaging directly with people from diverse backgrounds.

– Independence: Living in a foreign country forces students to organize daily life independently – from housing to daily routines.

– Language Skills: Constant exposure to a foreign language helps students improve their language proficiency.

– Better Career Opportunities: Employers value international experience, which signals flexibility and adaptability.

Challenges:

Of course, there are also difficulties. Many students face the following challenges when moving abroad:

– Financial Issues: Living abroad can be expensive. Students often need scholarships or part-time jobs.

– Different Education Systems: Learning methods may differ from those in the home country, requiring students to adapt.

– Cultural Differences: Adapting to new customs and traditions can be tough in a foreign country.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, student exchange programs are an excellent opportunity for young people to gain international experience, explore other cultures, and improve both academically and professionally. They help students adjust to new environments and foster mutual understanding between cultures.

During the program, students learn how to navigate life in a foreign country, speak new languages, and enhance communication skills. These experiences are valuable in today’s world and can improve future career prospects. Additionally, students form international connections that may benefit them later.

Despite the challenges, such as financial burdens, housing issues, or differences in education systems, these very obstacles help students become more independent and adaptable.

Overall, exchange programs are a key component of global education. They not only help young people expand their knowledge but also support personal growth. International exchange strengthens relationships between countries and universities. Therefore, such programs should continue to be supported so more students can benefit.
