Description

Design Her 2.0 The second workshop of DesignHer 2.0 focused on backend development, providing participants with the knowledge and skills required to build the server-side components that power modern web applications. Held virtually on the 7th of June 2026, the session brought together participants eager to expand their understanding of full-stack development and explore the technologies behind robust and scalable applications. The workshop was conducted by Mr. Pasan Abeysekara, Software Engineer at PickMe, who shared his industry expertise and practical insights into backend development. Participants were introduced to key backend concepts, including server-side programming, APIs, database integration, and application architecture. Through real-world examples and live demonstrations, attendees gained an understanding of how backend systems communicate with frontend applications and manage data efficiently. The session featured interactive discussions, hands-on demonstrations, and engaging Q&A segments, allowing participants to clarify concepts and gain deeper insights into backend technologies. The practical approach adopted throughout the workshop helped attendees connect theoretical knowledge with real-world development practices. By the end of the session, participants had developed a stronger understanding of backend development fundamentals and the role of server-side technologies in creating complete web applications. The workshop successfully equipped attendees with valuable technical knowledge and prepared them for the next stages of DesignHer 2.0, fostering confidence and enthusiasm for further learning in software development.
