Best Online Courses #13
Modern back-end web development is a large and complicated subject, and as someone who’s currently a few years into working professionally as a full-stack developer, I’m still struggling to understand some of the related concepts. Up until recently I didn’t fully grasp what microservices actually were on either a high or low level, and completing this course did a lot to demystify a lot about them for me.
The first thing I should say is that this course has a few general prerequisites even though it’s classed as “Beginner” level on Pluralsight, so it’s not the most ideal course for total beginners to web development in general. What should you already know (or have) for this course? I’d list these as necessary:
Now if all of the above prerequisites sounds like a heady list, the primary reason I cite all of them is simply because this course puts all of those topics into context with each other, and more than that, also explains how they all fit together in the overarching theme of microservices. To this last point in particular, this is the only course of its kind that I’ve seen anywhere online that can help to get “beginners” up to speed on what they should know about microservices on a high level to prepare for the task of building them.
