What do you need to know to create a client-server application?

Question

Database

I want to write web and android applications that will interact with each other. To create, I want to use react, as a mysql database. Basically, text information will be transmitted, but it is possible to add images, video and audio files, as well as their playback. What can be read on this? On what and how is it better to implement the server (for debugging and for possible real use) and the backend?
I'm new to this, please help me figure this out.
I have some knowledge of react, redux. I'm currently learning react router.
There is an assumption that the server part will be in PHP, but I heard that it seems like it can be done on a node.

Answer 1

I would advise you not to scatter - if you want to learn how to make client-server applications, write them, and the server can take any open api (for example, github api)
For training, this will give more effect, but if you still really want to write your own server, then read about the rest api and write on anything
in the context of react, I would advise you to read examples from the redux repository
