45. Apps have brains too: a quick guide to servers

Learning notes from this episode:   The bit of an app or site you interact with is called a front end. If you can touch it, swipe it or speak to it, it is a front end. The front end is a computer that speaks to humans. The front end is like your sensory organs: eyes, ears and mouth. The back end (the server side) is the bit of the app that you cannot interact with yourself: it is a computer that only talks to computers. The server is the brain of your operation: it enables communication and stores data.    To participate in Sophia's workshop on 15 May, register here.
