Where front end web development involves everything the end user interacts with, back end web development happens behind the scenes server side. This can include database migrations, API integrations, and setting up server side technology.
Back end web developers integrate databases with websites, develop website information architecture, create and develop REST APIs, and implement Quality Assurance (QA) processes for websites. Through this qualification you'll get a full understanding of what it takes to be a web developer, with a focus on back end web development tools and practices.
Talented and skilled web developers continue to be in high demand. This qualification will ensure you have industry ready skills to start an exciting career.
