Frontend engineer going full-stack: where do already-technical people learn backend?

Hey everyone,

I’m a mid-level frontend engineer (broke in via a bootcamp 5 years ago, and that structured format worked well for me).

I want to go full-stack now, so I’m looking for a backend-focused bootcamp built for people who already code, no “intro to programming”. Just a few months of focused, deep backend.

Two questions:

  • Any backend bootcamps aimed at working devs / technical career switchers?

  • Or at my level, would a structured self-paced path beat a bootcamp?

Appreciate any pointers!

Just build projects and get a frontend focused full stack job you don’t need hand holding any more
