Back end code adds utility to everything the front end developer creates. The main function of back end is to store data or you can say it is a database of a program.

You are already learning back-end, python is a backend language

If you're a beginner, focus on learning basic programming concepts instead of confusing yourself with backend or frontend. All that wouldn't matter if you can do loops, conditional statement, methods or classes.

To answer your question, backend is code that runs on a server and integrates the frontend with a database amongst many other things the backend does.

For backend languages, there are a ton of them each with a ton of frameworks.
So again learn programming first, all the backend languages are basically the same with a slight difference in syntax.

Also python is one the many backend languages.

Since you have started learning phyton I will advise you look into flask, some people will advise you to check Django but try go for simplicity and less stressful way of programing. Flask is very easy and you can achieve alot with a few line of code.

You can even start your local server with a single line of code. It make works easy and you use alot of added packages to build an amazing web app.

Do some research and see how sweet this framework is.













I build website. Black Friday PROMO

Google is your friend... If you want to be great in programing then you need to start asking Google questions concerning your problems you are facing, Check YouTube for video work through, Check Stackoverflow for error related issues, use W3school for introduction and practice. We all use these and many more sites everyday for research , and always end your questions with the programing language when doing your Google search. Eg. "How to install flask through npm".

please can you explain framework
You know how you need travel from one place to another, you don't go building a car from scratch but instead just buy one and all you need is to learn how to drive it?..... That's basically the concept of frameworks.

It contains codes that do specific things for you, you just need to learn how to use it.

So instead of doing a lot of work yourself, you just use a framework the way you want to and get things done way way faster.

These frameworks are based on languages and require some intermediate proficiency in the languages.

So which programming language do you know well and what exactly are you trying to do?

Since you're learning python, then Django or Flask or FastAPI
They're all good, google will give you their websites, they have ton of videos on youtube, pick one and happy debugging.

You can also use java for the backend with springboot.

Like i said, there are tons of backend languages and you're learning 2 of them. So which ever you feel comfortable with, simply pick one of their web framework and build your backend with it.

Good luck
