What is? β€” A Backend Developer Learning in Public

Hello Everyone πŸ‘‹

If this title caught your attention, feel free to hit the ❀️ button β€” it really helps!

Welcome to the "What is?" series.

In this series, I’ll share everything new I discover during my programming journey as a learner, just like many of you. The goal is simple: learn together and explain concepts in the easiest way possible.

This series will mainly focus on Backend Development because that’s the field I’m currently learning and working in πŸ˜‚.

Most of the posts will be about:

  • Golang
  • Backend fundamentals
  • APIs
  • Databases
  • Authentication
  • WebSockets
  • Testing
  • And other backend-related topics

I believe these posts can help developers who are just getting started.


Why Am I Writing This Series?

β€œIf you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.”
β€” Often attributed to Albert Einstein

One of the best ways to truly understand something is to explain it to someone else.

Writing these posts pushes me to:

  • Understand topics more deeply
  • Simplify complicated concepts
  • Practice communication skills
  • Document my learning journey

Sometimes documentation feels overwhelming, and beginner tutorials skip important details. I want this series to be beginner-friendly and focused on real understanding instead of just copying code.


What You Can Expect

The goal is to create posts that are:

  • Simple and direct
  • Beginner-friendly
  • Focused on understanding concepts
  • Based on real learning experiences

I’ll try to explain things the way I wish they had been explained to me when I started learning backend development.
