Cloud. Back-end. Front-end. Database. Server. API. What does it all mean? Phil Greenwald, previous associate director of technology at Harvard Innovation Labs, is coming to Venture Cafe to teach people "how to speak tech". In this session, you’ll learn all the basics behind how to talk to developers and what you should speak about to get your website, app, or other type of software built. We'll break down how the internet works and what that means for startup founders and aspiring web/app developers. Topics discussed will include:
* Back-end vs Front-end
* Databases and Servers
* Open-source
* Apps vs. Websites
* Language vs. Framework
* Abstraction
* API’s and Libraries
* JSON and AJAX
and what the heck is a STACK?
This workshop is perfect for any non-technical founder and other aspiring entrepreneurs who need a primer to help them communicate with, evaluate, and manage developers.
