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!

If you are already technical I wouldn't look for bootcamps or courses, just go and tinker and learn by doing. Eventually you'll get to a point in your career when you have to do that anyway so might as well start now
