Hey folks! I’m new to coding and want to know what’s hot in the backend world this year. I’m a freshman studying computer science and I’m curious about the server-side tech you’re all using.
What made you pick your current backend framework? Are there any up-and-coming ones you think are worth checking out?
I’m trying to decide where to focus my energy, especially for creating fast, modern web apps. Any advice on what to learn would be awesome!
I know the field changes fast, so I’m hoping to get some insider tips from experienced devs. What do you think will be important to know in the near future?
Thanks in advance for your help! It’s great to be part of such a knowledgeable community.
yo, i’m using Go lately. its blazing fast n easy to learn. microservices are huge now, so Go’s perfect. kubernets is also big for deploying. dont sleep on GraphQL either, its changing how we handle APIs. gotta stay flexible in this field, things move quick!
hey there! have u looked into Deno? it’s like Node but with built-in TypeScript support. pretty cool! wat about serverless? AWS Lambda and Azure Functions are getting big. oh, and rust is gaining traction for its speed and safety. wat are ur thoughts on these?
As someone who’s been in the industry for over a decade, I’ve seen technologies come and go. Currently, I’m using Node.js with Express for most of my projects. It’s incredibly versatile and has a vast ecosystem of libraries. However, I’ve also been experimenting with Rust and its web frameworks like Actix. The performance gains are impressive, especially for high-load applications. If you’re just starting, I’d recommend getting comfortable with JavaScript and then exploring TypeScript. It’s becoming increasingly important in both frontend and backend development. Don’t forget about databases either - NoSQL solutions like MongoDB are still popular, but there’s been a resurgence of interest in SQL databases, particularly PostgreSQL for its advanced features. Ultimately, focus on understanding core concepts rather than specific frameworks, as the underlying principles will serve you well regardless of the technology du jour.
