A Prospective Backend Developer

I've been curious and interested about what is happening behind the screen I see every time when I read local news, watch youtube and practice coding, etc. A curiosity such as a video shows up on my screen when I click the play button and typing my ID and password allows me to access to my online bank account and purchase some stuff on amazon.

Just by drawing a visual process in my head, I can kind of understand conceptually how it's working (like whatever your typing will be evaluated for a match from a "somewhere far away" database and then it will validate your credential and gives you a "I know who you are" confirmation.) but..really, how does that "actually" works?

Finally, today is the Day 1 at Flatiron School for software engineering and I know I am going to be submerged with tremendous amount of web developing and coding knowledges but I am actually super excited and ready for a challenge that will lead me to break my "back..and?" (high level rhyme joke) curiosity.
