Hello Fernando,
I'm a newbie in IT and I'm getting started as a backend developer, and I'm talking the self-taught route. I just completed a training in node.js which basically introduced me to the basics. Right now, I don't know what to do next. What courses do you think I need to take to come out as a confident backend developer.
Also, are you open to mentoring people on a more one on one basis? I need a mentor badly now. Thanks

What topics did you cover on the node.js training you just finished? I would say that instead of going for another training, try to duplicate a project. Something basic that you can create on your own. Through that process you'll stumble upon a lot of problems and working through them will help you learn more than just doing another tutorial.

Thanks for your reply. In the training, I covered html, css, bootstrap, javascript, node.js and mongoDB. And your suggestion is well noted.
Thank you.
