What is a Back-End?

If the front-end is the ‘Presentation Layer’ (what the user interacts with)
The back-end is where the data is all stored.
The back-end, also called the server-side, consists of the server which provides data on request, the application that channels it, and the database which organizes the information.

For example, when a customer browses shoes on a website, they are interacting with the front end. 🐥
After they select the item they want, put it in the shopping cart 🛒, and authorize the purchase 💲, the information is kept inside the database 💽 which resides on the server. 💻

There are a wide variety of frameworks and languages used to code the application, such as Ruby on Rails, Java, C++/C/C#, Python and PHP. All of which are WELL beyond the scope of this class
