How do I become a back-end developer?

Question

I want to become a back-end developer with ASP.NET. How do I do that? I have some knowledge of C#. What should I do after that? What should I study? What types are there with ASP.NET?

Hi @Kashmitha Madushan,

At the beginning you could follow video tutorial to make basic Asp.Net core MVC website with using EntityframeworkCore to operate the database. Such as this tutorial. Then you will have a basic full stack view of c# back-end developing.

After that I recommend you follow this popular roadmap to improve and practice your skills to master every section about back-end developing.

I would guess that asp.net shops are more typically full stack. anyway as a backend you want to focus on:

• database access and performance
• micro services
• data consistency patterns like the saga pattern
• understand container hosting
• understand non sql databases
• understand REST api and gRPC
• understand caching platforms like resdis
