A driver who knows how a car works drives in a different way than a driver who knows nothing about it. For example, he knows when it is better to turn on the air conditioner, so the car works under less pressure. He also knows when he should check the oil and the water. These small and simple things look like nothing, but after a long time they make the cost of keeping the car much lower.
The same thing is true in programming. As a backend developer, if we know what happens on the front-end side, we can write much better code.
The goal of this course is to show you, as a backend developer, how front-end developers think, how they build things, and what problems they have when they want to connect to the backend.
This knowledge helps you in two things.
When you understand how the front-end and the backend talk to each other, you will see how to build an API or a View that is easier to use on the front-end side.
When you understand how the front-end and the backend talk to each other, you will also see which tasks belong to the front-end side and which tasks belong to the backend side.
This course will not make you a front-end developer.
The front-end and the backend talk to each other with HTML forms and with API calls in JavaScript. In this course I first show you the basic ideas of HTML, and after that we look at how the front-end and the backend work together through HTML forms, with real and useful examples.
At the end, we review the basic ideas of JavaScript and we see how the front-end and the backend work together when we call an API with JavaScript.
This course needs nothing before it. But if you know more about HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you will understand the subjects deeper.
My advice is this: do not go and read three separate courses about these three things before you start. Start this course right now. Any time you see something that you do not know, learn only that one small part with the help of AI.
Remember, you are a backend developer. Everything that you need to know from the front-end is inside this course. So do not spend your time on extra specialized courses.
I upload all CodeBaz videos and podcasts on platforms such as YouTube and SoundCloud, which are often restricted in Iran.
Most tutorials come with both video and podcast formats. Therefore, if you want to make the most out of the site’s content, you will need to use a VPN.
Please note that for shopping in the store, it’s better to turn off your VPN to avoid issues with payment and banking connections.
