Intro to Backend Development 101 Talk - The Skill Every Developer Needs (but Few Learn)

🎓 Curious how apps and websites actually work behind the scenes?

Join IEEE Computer Society @ USF for Intro to Backend Development 101 — an engaging and beginner-friendly talk.

💡 Why Attend:
While most students start with frontend development, far fewer explore backend engineering — yet it’s one of the most in-demand skills in the tech industry. Companies need strong backend developers to power data, APIs, & scalable systems.
This session will boost your understanding of backend fundamentals, establishing your path in learning this field & helping you stand out for internships, technical interviews, and full-stack projects.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:
🔗 APIs & Communication: How the frontend talks to the backend
⚙️ CRUD Operations: The backbone of every web app — Create, Read, Update, Delete
🗄️ Databases: Why we use them and how they differ
🔐 Authentication vs Authorization: How systems verify and protect users

👨‍💻 Speaker: Akmal Kurbanov — Tech Lead at IEEE-CS at USF & VSP Vision SWE Intern with 1.5 years of commercial backend development experience.
