Ready to gain new skills and the tools developers use to create websites and web applications? This certificate, designed by the software engineering experts at Meta—the creators of Facebook and Instagram, will prepare you for an entry-level career as a back-end developer. In this program, you’ll learn: Python Syntax—the most popular choice for machine learning, data science and artificial intelligence. In-demand programming skills and how to confidently use code to solve problems. Linux commands and Git repositories to implement version control. The world of data storage and databases using MySQL, and how to craft sophisticated SQL queries. Django web framework and how the front-end consumes data from the REST APIs. How to prepare for technical interviews for back-end developer roles.

The name is sort of misleading. should be named as "Web developement overview" becuase it mostly covers concepts like how Internet and web works, front-end developement and technologies.

Thanks Meta for a very comprehensive course.Not only are fundamental computer science topics taught, but the job-ready skills needed for Python by covering it in breadth, but also depth.

I have been using git and GitHub for many years, but I was still learning from this course. I would have enjoyed this course years ago, when I started out with Version Control!
UU
As per my experience, this is the most interesting course for me in this professional certification because it is very well organized and very knowledgeable.

I did expect this course to have more focus on Class-based views and generic views. Also the course did not cover any authentication like login or signup systemOthers where fine
NB
Excellent, though sometimes the learning curve becomes very hard and some elements of the course can look (or be) inconsistent. It was really a pleasure to follow this course.

great course. I have learned lot. i have completed on time.
MB
This course really helped me understand loads of stiffs not only about backend or fullstack but also the world of programming in general

Ce cours est d'une performance inégalé et très bien structuré pour un apprentissage progressif

Great! One of the best courses I've done so far. Can't wait to learn more. The only thing to improve would be a an additional practical subchapter about react with real coding projects.

It's not as extensive as a newbie might need, but the graded assessments force you to learn by actually coding. I recommend combining this course with other ones, whenever you hit a block.

Congratulation to the Meta Staff family you all did a good job at teaching me this course. I must say for a newbie I have had no challenge in learning from you all.

4 weeks about React and Bootstrap, no value for backend developers
Why is it identical to the course "Introduction to Front-End Development"? The contents are about HTML, CSS and JavaScript, which are basically what front-end developers will use
This course is titled "Introduction to Backend Development" but it's entirely focused on front-end development.
Great! One of the best courses I've done so far. Can't wait to learn more. The only thing to improve would be a an additional practical subchapter about react with real coding projects.
It's good for beginners, though we mostly focus on the front end, not much on the back end.
I really enjoyed this course. The practice was great. I was blown away by the ability to code within the course, rather than by download. I did download the IDE to practice on my own.
They kept it simple and easy to understand. The assignments were well guided. The topics were well covered. Just wish to see some introduction topics regarding back-end development.
This is first time i have actually enjoyed learning HTML and CSS. It always felt like I would never get a hang of it, But this course made it all easy for me and made me hungry for more.
I found the entire course very interesting, as it presented the full spectrum of web development. The material was presented very well, step by step, and was easy to understand.
To simple. To easy. Not informative. Quiz questions are vague.
I absolutely loved this course and I think it's the best introduction to Back-End development. It not only describe the role of a Back-End developer but it also covers all the basic of Front-End development and UI frameworks that should be enough for a beginner Back-End developer to start with. So that way you don't get overwhelmed by the front end stuff you will likely never use as a Back-End developer. If you're a Back-End student I highly recommend starting with this course, because it is right to the point and it covers things like HTML forms, css/bootstrap grid and some other basic things that you need to know.
Amazing intro, learned HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and React lightly but clear concepts. Most recommended for a first approach for non-techy backgrounds.
This is a fantastic course. It was well taught, and quite practical too. Looking forward to the other courses
This course is really helpful and amazing, it has simple explanation videos, the assignments was really joyful and interesting. I get to learn about React and it's use in such a simple way. The core information about internet technologies such as HTTP, web server, application servers are really useful. The additional content after every module contents lots of deep information about the topics.
Another brilliant course. Introduced to networking, HTTP principles, and some front-end technologies like HTML and CSS that lay the foundations to becoming a back-end developer. Thanks to the instructors, who are brilliant.
The woman who is teaching is really good.
The courses are very interesting using a variety of teaching methods from videos, readings, quizzes, labs and exams. In addition, the explanations are very easy to understand and are followed by visualizations that make the material easier to understand
This course is great for both beginers and experiences. However, I recommend ones who have at least basic programming before starting this course since this course is a little fast pace, it could be hard to follow if you are a completely beginer.
The trainer is well informed on the subject matter and she breaks down the course into easy digestable instruction which is easily comprehended.
Thanks Meta and Coursera for the lovely introductory course.
For the most part a well paced course. The instructor elocuted well and spoke at a good pace. I enjoyed the basic programming exercises as I am very new to looking into programming and data.
Great introduction, very clear explaination and great bonus materials to read through. Definitely equipping you with a great overview of all the basics and hence further development.
