"Backend Developer in 30 Days" is now available on Amazon and bpbonline.com!!
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.
