Back-end Engineer Experience

Learn about the back-end of the web by building APIs, using JavaScript outside of the browser with Node.js, and solving problems in teams.

What's included?

You'll visit Node.js, Express, and some fundamentally useful technologies for building servers and APIs. By building back-end services, you'll understand more about full-stack web development.

Node.js

Use Node.js to write JavaScript in various environments - leverage the npm ecosystem, and harness the capabilities of programming beyond the confines of the browser.

APIs

Application Programming Interfaces - you'll hear the acronym API used everywhere in software, and sometimes it can be confusing... we'll dig in and build our own to learn more about them.

Node + Express

Express allows you to quickly learn about and write servers and APIs - the backbone of back-end engineering. You'll be creating services that you and others can use from anywhere.

Project

You'll cement your learning with a team-based project at the end of the module, which should serve as a great way to understand the ins and outs of back-end engineering.

We learned a staggering amount... Not only are we now equipped with the tools to build and deploy full-stack software, but we've also studied design, UI/UX, accessibility, DevOps, testing, broader computer science topics, and so much more.
