In this episode I cover some of the basic skills you should focus on learning or perfecting if you're looking to become a backend developer.
Are these all the technologies/skills to focus on? Absolutely not! This is just a starting point. There are many more aspects of the role to look into, and that is why I'm also linking some extra articles below.


Enjoy the episode!

Top skills mentioned

1. Pick a backend language. It doesn't matter which one, pick one and go with it.
2. Learn a framework for your chosen language.
3. Learn about backend architecture and architectural patterns.
4. Learn about databases, specifically about SQL vs NoSQL.
5. Understand how APIs work and how to create them yourself.

Extra skill implied throughout the entire episode: Keep an eye in the industry, understand what new technologies emerge and which ones make sense for you to follow.

In this episode, I'm covering some of the tasks that as developers we need to worry about, even when they're not really about coding.

As developers, we're often faced with tasks that are just not "fun", like tracking our work, going into meetings, etc. Truth is, all "cool developers" tend to say they avoid them, however instead of avoiding them, if you understand the reason for them and embrace those tasks, then you'll be helping your manager and you'll be doing a much better job as a developer in the end.

The tasks I cover in this episode are:

• Task tracking, and how it's not an evil practice.
• Meetings are not by default wrong.
• Plan and only then code.
• Avoid overengineering your solutions.
