Hi forum…
I’m a frontend developer with a solid grasp of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I’m looking to expand my skill set into backend development. Can anyone recommend a good course or resource for someone with my background?

For someone with frontend knowledge, start backend development by learning a framework like .NET, Spring, a Go framework, or Django. Deploy a sample app, then create a RESTful API and work with databases. Explore caching, authentication, and performance. Focus on understanding the framework’s details and underlying concepts.
Consider courses like “The Complete Node.js Developer Course” on Udemy or “CS50’s Web Programming” on edX. They’re great for frontend devs transitioning to backend development.
When I decided to expand from frontend development into backend work, I found that a solid starting point was to take a course that bridges the gap between frontend and backend technologies. I started with Node.js because it leverages JavaScript, which made the transition smoother. I recommend checking out courses on platforms like Udemy or Coursera, such as “The Complete Node.js Developer Course” by Andrew Mead or “Server-side Development with NodeJS, Express, and MongoDB” on Coursera. These resources helped me build a strong backend foundation and integrate seamlessly with my frontend skills.
