"Backend Developer in 30 Days" is now available on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/9355513216/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_V19CYDR26B3R3ST9QMPP_0">Amazon</a> and [bpbonline.com](https://bpbonline.com/products/backend-developer-in-30-days?variant=42073104187592)!!

In this book, I tried to capture what I would have loved to know a decade ago when I was a junior developer: A holistic view of the most critical areas of back-end development, from defining and building APIs to continuously releasing an application.

I wrote this book in the middle of a pandemic and a master's degree; so I'm delighted to release this book after all that effort.

A big thank you to BPB for their patience, trust, and support while I wrote this book.

The following is the book description:


> This book connects ideas on API design, data modeling, practical testing, application security, and system design, among other critical areas of backend development.

> Build stronger support system to power your enterprise applications

### Key Features

- Provides a career map for becoming a successful backend developer, including advice on skills and tools.

### Description

In today's world, becoming an experienced backend developer is a difficult job that requires a lot of work. There are an excessive number of stacks and technologies to master, and new ones often gain popularity. Nonetheless, they share the same fundamental concepts: data storage, security, performance, testing, etc.

This book aims to teach and train you to become a successful backend developer with a solid skill set in developing and implementing the real engine of a successful enterprise application.

Implementation topics like setting up a web server, designing and developing APIs, creating and running automated tests, and working with various types of databases are all addressed in detail.

The book prepares developers to maintain the safety and security of their applications through the use of procedures that avoid application and data breaches. While you learn about every part of backend development, the book teaches you how to deal with errors and find and fix problems.

By the end of the book, you will have a firm grasp on the fundamental principles that underpin backend programming, including application architectures, design patterns, essential development activities, and help for debugging.

### What you will learn
