Questions
About the Backend & API Development track
Do I need frontend knowledge first?
It is helpful but not required. Basic web concepts are introduced where they support backend understanding.
Which backend language is used?
The track is described around modern JavaScript and Node.js; contact the Academy for the current delivery plan.
Which tools are used to test APIs?
Learners may use an API client and automated checks to inspect requests, responses, validation and protected routes.
How much SQL is expected?
The track introduces the SQL needed to support application workflows; the Database Engineering track explores data design more deeply.
