The Back End: Programming Languages

Abstract

You have spent the last couple of weeks brainstorming your idea, researching the opportunity, and refining the vision for MyAppoly. What’s next? Many would-be products never make it past this question due to the technological barrier. Internet applications are programmed or coded in a programming language. The code defines how the application will run and respond, defining everything from what you see to what happens in the background. Without the ability to code, your team will find it difficult to create MyAppoly. Although many have worked to democratize programming with such educational services as Codeacademy, it remains an insurmountable obstacle to most. It’s really a shame that so many worthwhile products die before a single line of code is written.
