Courses Plus Student 1,967 Pointsmaking my own back-end server
I know that I always should use Parse.com or other back-end APIs for my apps, but I really want to learn how to build my own back-end server for my apps. Just so I can understand the whole concept better and I mean it really can’t hurt to know how to build your own back-end even if I never would use it “in real life”.
I thought I would start with building a back-end for the “Ribbit Messenger app” from the android track. I have searched alot but I can’t find a clear answer to how I even should begin. All I find are “reasons NOT to build your own back-end…blablabla”.
So which track would help me more to start building my back-end? The PHP track or the Ruby on Rails track? What other tracks or courses can help me with this?
Maybe some other links or tutorials for this?
Really would appreciate some help with this! :) thanks!
