Backend Engineering
4 deployed projects + certificate; junior-backend ready
- Length
- 24 weeks · 5 hrs a week
- Curriculum
- 24 weeks · 120 hours
- How it is taught
- online or physical or hybrid
What you'll learn
- Design a database schema that survives contact with real data
- Build REST APIs with real authentication that another developer can consume
- Handle transactions and integrity — the difference between a bug and a lost payment
- Test, document, cache, and run background jobs
- Secure and deploy a service, and reason about how it scales
Week by week
Every week, what you can do by the end of it.
1How servers work + setup5h
Client–server model; runtime; how the backend fits
ChatGPT to explain concepts
2Programming I5h
Variables, types, operators
Copilot
3Programming II5h
Functions, scope, parameters/returns
4Data structures5h
What you'll build
You leave with work you can show, not only a certificate.
- P1 — CLI/program + logic project (Wk 6)
- P2 — Database-backed app + schema (Wk 12)
- P3 — REST API with auth (Wk 18)
- Capstone — deployed backend w/ payments + integrations (Wk 24)
Tools you'll use
- Node.js/Express
- PostgreSQL
- REST APIs
- Auth
- Git
- Deployment
Afterwards
Graduate designs data models, builds secure REST APIs with auth, integrates local payments/SMS, tests and deploys reliably with an AI-accelerated workflow, and shows 4 deployed projects. Junior-ready for Backend roles (employed, remote, freelance). (Honest framing: a strong junior foundation + portfolio, not a senior claim.)
