title: How to make the server backend of a mobile app?
body: <p>I am an Android developer and I want to make an app which shows users on a map and performs tasks based on their location. </p>
  
  <p>The whole model of the app has to run in the server. I need an API which:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Receives user location</li>
  <li>Performs calculations based on the location of the users</li>
  <li>Sends response to specific users with the results</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The problem is that I have 0 experience in doing server side programming. </p>
  
  <p>Can you please suggest me a way of making the server?</p>
  
  <p>I checked the <em>Google Colud Platform</em> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5u_Owtbfew&amp;feature=player_embedded" rel="noreferrer">this</a> video. The video addresses the connection between the app and the server, but what I really need is coding the model and deploying it on the cloud.</p>
  
  <p>What is the way for me to build the API for such an app, as a developer with no server side programming experience?</p>
  
  <p>Can you suggest me a tutorial which goes trough the process of building a cloud backend for a mobile app?</p>
