Server-Side Development
Server-side development involves building the backend logic, data processing, and server infrastructure that powers web applications and services. It focuses on handling requests, managing databases, implementing business logic, and ensuring security, typically using server-side programming languages and frameworks. This contrasts with client-side development, which deals with user interfaces and browser-based interactions.
Developers should learn server-side development to create scalable, secure, and data-driven applications such as e-commerce platforms, APIs, and enterprise systems. It is essential for handling sensitive operations like authentication, payment processing, and database management, and is widely used in full-stack development to build robust backends that support client-side applications.
