🔒 How do i learn backend in order

[worn lantern]

learn flask

and SQL

[worn lantern]

so python > flask > sql, what after?

[solar sand]

flask is the backend...

[opal apex]

look into this -
https://roadmap.sh/backend

[solar sand]

its like saying "i want to learn OOP" "learn classes" "what after?"

[worn lantern]

yeah?

[solar sand]

then if you know flask you know backend...

bruh

[worn lantern]

okay python basics> flask>sql

[opal apex]

though there are some keywords that might sound "high-tech", but its basically basic principles.

similar to "casting", "inheritance", or "overloading" in programing.

[worn lantern]

i saw that roadmap, it seems like a lot tho? do i really need to know all that?

[solar sand]

yes

[worn lantern]

and i meant what after learning sql

[solar sand]

nothing...

after you know sql you know backend

[opal apex]

there are some library that do abstract parts of the logic, like flask or fastapi.

but I'd still recommend learning about the protocols and principles of a backend server

[solar sand]

@worn lantern flask itself is the framework, but you should still know what is backend, like @opal apex said

[worn lantern]

what is this stuff version control and apis

people talk about

[solar sand]

git

[worn lantern]

do i need to learn those aswel

l

[solar sand]

yes, but they arent really backend

but learn 'em

i mean

git isnt

api's can be

[loud glen]

Version control (git) holds a snapshot of your code base with every commit / change you do making it easier for you to manage different versions of your code and allow you to rollback if in case you mess up your code

[worn lantern]

and im guessing that would be mandatory to know for a entry level
job?

[solar sand]

yes.

[loud glen]

Vcs is essential in every software Field

[worn lantern]

so sql, backend framework, language, git, knowing the concepts of a backend system is enough for an entry level job?

[solar sand]

u mean vsc?

[loud glen]

Version control system

[solar sand]

oh

yes

[loud glen]

Lol

[solar sand]

yes, should be. but it wouldnt be enough if your interview is like, tomorrow or smth

[worn lantern]

hell nawh, i got time

6 months+

[solar sand]

good then

[worn lantern]

8 hours a day

[solar sand]

bye go learning

shoo

[worn lantern]

do you have any recommendations where to learn from or it doesent really matter

[worn lantern]

im on a mountain rn in the middle of nowhere haha but im starting from monday as ill be home

[solar sand]

well i learned python, git and sql from youtube, and flask from the official docs

[solar sand]

nice

[worn lantern]

btw wont i need like django for a job as ive heard flask is for smaller projects?

[solar sand]

idk, i use flask

but its basicly the same usage i think, maybe it is for different sized projects

[worn lantern]

im guessing tho if ive learned flask it would be easy to learn django

[solar sand]

learn django then instead of flask and the rest the same

[solar sand]

i have no idea

[worn lantern]

postgres or mysql?

[solar sand]

tbh i have never seen a django code, i should look at it

[solar sand]

same as flask vs django. idk, i use mysql

[loud glen]

I've heard Django isn't beginner friendly at all

But you should probably first focus on learning python solely before touching any third party libraries

[worn lantern]

thank you guts

y

[solar sand]

yes, definitely

[worn lantern]

but wdym by solely, whats everything i should know to actually have knowledge

ive learned c++

up until intermidiate OOP at least

[solar sand]

basics and OOP

and what is pip

[loud glen]

Learn as much as you can

[solar sand]

yes

[loud glen]

About core python

Don't make any shortcuts

[opal apex]

yeah, lmao. sorry for the confusion. that's a typo.

I wanted to write libraries, accidentally wrote languages (I still blame the auto correct )

[worn lantern]

also what library/orm do u use, sqlalchemy?

[worn lantern]

got it thanks

and alsoo, would i need to learn a bit of frond end basics? im guessing it would be really helpful to know how frontend and backend work with eachother

[fervent wharf]

there are following parts that are important for becoming backend developer:

• http basic
  coding parts:

• data sanitazation

• buisness logic

• saving in database

• caching in reddis

• response sanitization

depoylement part:

• running in prod with guvicorn
• reverse proxy setup
• basic linux for running the app
• docker for easy deployments

plus:

• cicd for easy deployments
• logs monitoring with platforms like cloud watch

[fervent wharf]

general overview is good to have
