How does Lightcast design a skill?
Back End (Software Engineering)

Back end development, also known as server-side development, is the programming and management of the servers, databases, and other components that power the front-end of a website or application. It involves creating and maintaining the software infrastructure that supports the user-facing interface, ensuring that the data is processed and stored securely and efficiently. Back end developers use programming languages such as Python, Ruby, Java, and PHP, and tools such as MySQL, PostgreSQL or MongoDB to create and manage web applications. It's a specialized skill, and typically requires a thorough knowledge of web development best practices, server architecture, and data storage and retrieval.

Full Stack Development refers to the ability to develop both the front-end and back-end of a web application. This specialized skill set requires knowledge of multiple programming languages, databases, frameworks, and tools. A full stack developer can work on every layer of a web application, from the user interface to the server-side logic, data modeling, and deployment. They are versatile developers who can handle complex tasks, optimize the performance of web applications, and work in cross-functional teams.

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment for executing JavaScript code outside of a web browser. It allows developers to use JavaScript for server-side scripting and provides a platform for building scalable and high-performance applications. Node.js is commonly used for web applications, chat applications, real-time applications, and network applications. It is a highly in-demand skill for developers who want to work in modern web development.

Resque refers to a background job processing system for Ruby applications that manages tasks to be performed outside the main application flow. It is used to queue and process work such as email delivery, data processing, and other asynchronous operations that benefit from being handled separately from user requests. In work settings, it supports application responsiveness and helps organize time consuming tasks for reliable execution.

Sequelize.js (Javascript Library) refers to a library for managing data interactions between applications and relational databases in JavaScript environments. It is used to define data models, query records, and perform database operations in a structured way. In professional settings, it supports building and maintaining data driven applications by organizing access to stored information and helping preserve consistency in database handling.
