Hello “👋”

Welcome to another week, another opportunity to become a Great Backend Engineer.

Today’s issue is brought to you by MasteringBackend, a great resource for backend engineers. We offer next-level backend engineering training and exclusive resources.

Before we get down to the business of today. JavaScript for Backend Engineering.

I have a special announcement: You will love this one.

Masteringbackend is launching the beta version of its platform, which allows you to learn backend engineering in one place. The platform will help you grow your backend engineering career and turn you into a great backend engineer.

Here are some of the features:

  1. Roadmaps => MB Roadmap enables a structured-based learning approach for Backend engineers.

  2. Project Land => MB Projects enables backend engineers to use a learn-by-building model. Build real-world backend projects without coding the frontend.

  3. Backend Portfolio => Create and manage your backend portfolio with many real-world backend projects.

  4. BackLand => Learn backend engineering by solving challenges in a gamifying way.

Sound interesting?

The beta version is out for testing, reviews, and feedback.

Reply to this email if you find anything worth reporting or if there is more feedback to help us improve.

Now, back to the business of today.

This week came in so fast, and it’s finishing quickly, too. Well! I say this because I had a lot to do and wasn’t able to complete it.

For instance, I didn’t research the content I was supposed to share this week with you.

So 🙇 I will only share an update on how my week went and a summary of all the content I have written this year for this newsletter.

I had two major events this week: a friend’s wedding and a friend’s birthday party.

Recently, I discovered that it’s very important to make time for people in our lives, and this was a big sacrifice for me to make for them. I’m super excited I was there for them on their special days.

Now, back to the articles, round off all I have written. You can quickly jump into the one that interests you.
