Course Overview
Ready to become a solid backend engineer? Welcome to Backend Foundation Cohort - where we help developers master the core skills of backend engineering.
Over 13 weeks, you'll learn by building real systems from scratch. We start with networks and servers, work through databases and APIs, and advance to system design and deployment. Everything you learn is practical and based on what companies actually need.
This cohort focuses on concepts, not specific programming languages. You can work with Node.js, Go, or any backend language you're comfortable with. We believe understanding core principles matters more than mastering a single language.
You'll write real code and build actual projects - from creating your own servers to designing systems that can handle thousands of users. When something breaks, you'll learn to fix it. When a system is slow, you'll learn to make it faster.
If you know basic programming and want to get better at backend development, this cohort is for you.

We craft experiences not just content.
Hey there! I'm Rakesh Kohali, a software developer with 10+ years in the field. I've had the pleasure of working with companies of all sizes, but my true passion? Teaching.
A few years back, I started a YouTube channel called "CodersGyan". It's grown into a community of over 100K students, and I couldn't be more thrilled. There's something special about sharing knowledge and watching others grow.
My goal is simple: create top-quality content that's accessible to everyone.
I believe great education shouldn't come with a hefty price tag. So, whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your skills, I'm here to help you on your coding journey.
Let's learn and grow together!
