How can a front-end developer create a good web application without knowing php?

Question

css

I want to develop as a front-end, but I’m stuck with frameworks (in particular, Angular) and I can’t understand how I can create a really useful web application without good knowledge of php, and even more so other server languages. Maybe I don't understand something?

Answer 1

Recently, it has become fashionable to use NodeJS on the server side, that is, the same JavaScript. This is due to the fact that it became possible to do without dudes who write the server part in other server languages, and employers picked it up, it’s understandable why, why else keep these dudes, if you can strain the layout designer to bungle him and back- end. If you throw out such features as "asynchrony" and "multithreading" from NodeJS, then this implementation is no better than others, even worse in some places. There is a place for NodeJS, where it is unrivaled among others, but completely rewriting and supporting the back-end in JavaScript is either a JavaScript fanatic or a stoned one!

Answer 2

You understand everything correctly, there are no applications without a backend :) Learn node.js, the language is at least familiar.

Answer 3

1) Learn one of the server languages, you can node.js, you can php
2) If you don’t have the time and desire, find a person like you who wants to work on the backend on the contrary, and write the application together, in one you will have experience working in a team .

Answer 6

The thing is that technology has grown a lot in complexity when compared with the early 2000s. One can be done on a turnkey basis, but it will be either something simple or using ready-made solutions.
It is better to look for an accomplice, if something serious is started.

Answer 7

1. Master the back-end.
2. Hire a specialist.
3. Choose a platform where the back-end is not required, for example, Chrome applications and similar ones for Firefox, but these are not quite Web applications anymore, they are suitable only for a very limited range of ideas.
