Mastering Backend Foundations: Why Starting with Node.js Sets You Up for Success
🚀 Exciting Journey into Node.js Backend Development 🚀
I wanted to share a bit about my recent journey diving deep into Node.js for backend development. It's been an eye-opening experience that I believe every aspiring backend developer should consider starting with Node.js before diving into frameworks like Django. Here's why:
In Django, and other framework we often leverage its powerful built-in functionalities, which can sometimes shield us from understanding the core aspects of web development. Features like session-based authentication and JWT authentication are seamlessly handled by Django, which is great for rapid development. However, as backend developers, it's crucial to grasp these concepts from scratch.
Node.js has given me a profound insight into the core of backend development. From setting up project folders to implementing authentication mechanisms like JWT from the ground up, every step has deepened my understanding of web applications. This hands-on approach not only enhances technical skills but also prepares us for real-world scenarios where custom solutions are often necessary.
I still have a deep love for Django—it remains a robust framework that accelerates development. Yet, Node.js has enriched my understanding of Django's underlying mechanisms, thanks in part to invaluable resources like @PiyushGarg's Node.js series. His practical approach to industry-standard project setups, folder structures, and logging mechanisms has been instrumental in shaping my learning path.
If you're embarking on your backend development journey, consider starting with Node.js. It's a fantastic way to build a solid foundation in web development, equipping you with skills that transcend frameworks and technologies.
