Course Overview

Backend applications do the heavy lifting of calculations, data storage, and integrating data from multiple sources, and enable many clients to connect to it simultaneously.

It deals in depth with:
• Designing and developing a backend application;
• Exposing data to client applications as an API;
• Best practice in database design;
• Database queries and joins;
• Security of data in motion and at rest;
• Connecting applications end-to-end, from frontend to backend and database.

Course Objectives

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
1. Design and develop a backend software application.
2. Design and develop an Application Programming Interface (API) to enable a frontend client (web application) to access data in the backend.
3. Connect a client app to the backend application.
4. Apply security standards to the protection of the API.
5. Design and develop a database.
6. Connect a backend application to a database.
