## Description
In Backend we peek behind the curtains and inspect what’s behind the web. You build web apps with [Node.js][node], communicate with [HTTP][http], and store data in a database with [MongoDB][mongodb]. In this course you’ll advance your web dev skills. You’ll learn to use computers to actually make what you design work: people can actually fill in forms, like things, and upload files.
Backend is an elective course given in Quarter 3 (spring) after the core curriculum of our programme, building further on knowledge acquired in *Internetstandaarden*, *Inleiding Programmeren*, and *Blok Web*.
This course is chosen alongside **Frontend 2** and **Project Tech**, together making up Block Tech. If you’d like to continue with web development after this course, do a tech internship, choose the [Tech Track][track] for the fall semester next year, and pick [Minor Everything Web][minor] in the spring semester after that.
_Back-end is part of the CMD Amsterdam **design & build space** (technical course) that focusses on Conceptualizing (2), Imagining and creating (3), Multidisciplinary collaboration (5) & Research (9) competences._
