Backend Web Development Course (Self-Paced Professional Training)

The Backend Web Development Course – Beginner to Intermediate is a hands-on, project-driven program designed for learners who want to build secure, scalable, and efficient server-side applications.

This course begins with Node.js fundamentals, teaching you how JavaScript works outside the browser and how backend systems process requests and responses. You will develop a strong foundation in JavaScript logic, functions, loops, and array methods, which are essential for backend programming.

As the course progresses, you will learn Express.js to create RESTful APIs and implement CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) using structured routing and HTTP methods. You will practice API development using real-world workflows such as request handling, response management, middleware usage, and error handling.

In the advanced phase, the course introduces MongoDB with Mongoose, where you will design schemas, connect databases to backend servers, and build fully functional, database-driven applications. You will also gain hands-on experience with Postman for API testing and Nodemon for efficient backend development.

Unlike theory-heavy programs, this course focuses on practical backend development, preparing learners for junior backend developer roles, full-stack development paths, internships, and real-world projects.
