  • User authentication and authorization (JWT, OAuth, sessions)

  • Password hashing and best security practices

  • Middleware for protected routes and roles

  • File handling and uploads (Multer or Spring Multipart)

  • Asynchronous programming (async/await in Node.js or concurrency in Java)

  • Introduction to WebSockets for real-time communication


Module 4: Final Project & Deployment

Put your skills to the test by planning, building, and deploying a full-fledged backend system.

  • Design and develop a RESTful backend for a real-world use case

  • Integrate with frontend or provide APIs for frontend consumption
