JavaScript and the Backend

A real web app needs a back end in order to persist its data and do sensitive operations. Here you'll learn how to use ajax to send data requests to your Rails back end, and/or how to outsource your backend to a Backend-as-a-Service company like Firebase. You'll also get a chance to work with external APIs, which is something you'll probably find yourself doing quite frequently as you build your own projects in the future.
