How to store data on the server?

Question

css

Hello. I have some javascript knowledge. I am sure that increasing this amount of knowledge can only be achieved through practical work and solving real problems, so I challenged myself to write a very simple application (todo list and budget allocation) and host it on herokuapp.com. But there are a few questions:
1) How to store data, do you need node.js?
2) Is it worth trying to write it in pure js or should I take some kind of framework?
Thank you.

Answer 1

1. optional, any server solution will do, but if you want to focus on js, then the node is an excellent solution for pumping skills, unlike the browser - it does not forgive mistakes. You also need a database, most often mongo or mysql. For a node, they usually take mongo, but former phpshniks, of course, often take mysql for everything.
2. worth it, jQuery can be used without understanding js, but this is a library, but any more or less powerful framework will require good knowledge of js.
