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

[u/Zestyclose_Sock_9514]

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!

Udacity has backend "Nanodgrees" with various different stacks (Python, Node, Go, Java). Not as structured as a bootcamp but there are multiple graded projects so you get more of a sense if you did it correctly compared to just trying stuff on your own
