Introduction to Backend Development

Backend Programming, Cloud Programming, Server side programming can be quite the mysterious enigma for an iOS developer. However, sometimes you might need a server component to your application. I've found there's a lot to cover when learning about the cloud, so this talk pulls together a few key concepts you'll need to know to get started. These concepts include the request-response loop, background processing, queues and streams, DNS, hosting, frameworks and cloud providers. This is an introductory level talk with only basic programming examples required - so this should be suitable to follow for any experience level.
