I already had some experience with HTTP Servers and I went through it to see if and how things have changed. Needless to say, it teaches you the basics really well and I love that it provided a way to structure your code as well.

Very great introduction to creating dynamic website in TS with an API... if only there was a front with it.

The course covers building HTTP servers with TypeScript from fundamentals to advanced concepts, including server setup, routing, clean and scalable architecture design, working with JSON, error and data management, application security (Authentication & Authorization), using Webhooks, and writing clear API documentation. It provides a complete practical path that prepares students to build real-world backend systems aligned with professional standards.

Overall, I really enjoyed this course. It was the first course I'd taken in a language that I did know, but on a subject that I didn't know. It didn't take very long for me to make sense of how everything works and be able to do most lessons without guidance.
