Backend Web Development with TypeScript

This course provides a guide to building backend systems with Node.js and TypeScript, combining strong typing with modern server-side practices. It demonstrates how TypeScript improves reliability, security, and scalability in backend projects by enforcing type safety and consistency across routes, middleware, databases, and authentication flows. Through hands-on lessons and real-world demonstrations, you’ll start by setting up Node.js projects with TypeScript, configuring linting, formatting, and logging tools. You will then learn to build secure and maintainable servers using Express, define typed APIs and middleware, and implement error handling patterns. The course progresses to integrating MongoDB with Mongoose, where you’ll create typed schemas, models, and perform CRUD operations with validation, indexing, and transactions. Finally, you’ll explore authentication with JWTs, role-based access control (RBAC), and automated testing with Jest to ensure backend reliability. By the end of this course, you will be able to: Initialize and configure Node.js projects with TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, and strict compiler settings. Build Express servers with typed routes, middleware, error handling, and APIs. Design and validate MongoDB schemas and models with Mongoose in TypeScript. Perform CRUD operations, query optimization, and transactions with strong typing. Implement secure authentication using JWTs and enforce role-based access control. Write unit and integration tests with Jest to validate controllers, routes, and database operations. Develop a production-ready backend system where TypeScript ensures maintainability, security, and long-term scalability. This course is ideal for JavaScript and Node.js developers who want to strengthen their backend skills with enterprise-level TypeScript practices. A solid understanding of JavaScript, Node.js basics, and OOP in TypeScript is recommended before starting. Join us to master backend development with TypeScript and learn how to design secure, scalable, and production-grade APIs!
