NestJS Zero to Hero - Modern TypeScript Back-end Development

Nest uses Express under the hood, It's an opinionated backend framework so it provides a set of packages which integrate nicely together. With Express you can build your backend from scratch with any packages you like so I guess you have more freedom.

I chose Nest since I'm still not quite ready to build something from scratch and I wanted to develop as fast as possible without needing to integrate too many packages together. I learned most of what I needed in this udemy course.

The author of this course regularly drops coupons in the sub to get it for free.

Did you go with this link: https://www.udemy.com/course/nestjs-zero-to-hero/ I already claimed it.

I took this course and thought it was excellent:

I still like Express, but only for small things.

I come from Java and spring, now i'm learning Nest.js and typescript. I'm doing this course right now. It was 15bucks and só far so good.

you would just build an api around their api. That means that only your backend coverAPI will have access to the JWT token/credentials of the appleAPI. coverAPI then can issue its own tokens which your app will only be able to use to access coverAPI. This way you can also replace the appleAPI credentials in coverAPI and the app wont know about the difference. You will have to learn JWT authentication sooner or later, dont put it away. https://www.udemy.com/course/nestjs-zero-to-hero/ I liked this course.

The order in which I would suggest:

1. https://www.udemy.com/course/nestjs-zero-to-hero/ (this is a very good course for nest, nest is the biggest most diverse block you need to master)
2. any mysql course but make sure it's maria db (RDMS are complex, fascinating field but it is relatively easy to get just enough that you need for your app, that's why I place nest first)
3. prisma documentation (prisma has a nest module iirc I think you should start there after nest and sql)

PS the course I linked to very very often it's up for free from the author search for it on reddit you might find links for it to cost 0 $

I haven't but I've gone through this 8.5 hr course and I thought it was pretty good.

It includes a 1.5 hr section on graphql and if you are patient you can get it for less than $15.

Check out this course by Ariel which seems geared to what you're looking for (although using Postgres) — ORM, repositories, "Repos dependency injected into Services, and Services dependency injected into controllers", etc: https://www.udemy.com/course/nestjs-zero-to-hero/

He gave out coupons to make the course free but not sure if any are left or not: https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/bzhk0s/free_udemy_course_nestjs_zero_to_hero/

Circling back to this 2 months later! Thanks for the advice!

So I completed a typescript course (this one) (which is life changing for backend - I love Dart / Flutter on the Front end, and how similar TypeScript is), now I'm a few hours into a NestJS course, and I'm totally sold on NestJS for scalable backend architecture. (This newly updated Udemy course: https://www.udemy.com/course/nestjs-zero-to-hero)

I have not gotten to the graphql chapter yet. But looking forward to it.

Also looking at Apollo Federation (unsure if I need it yet at this scale, but interested to learn more about it). I have also not decided yet on code-first or schema-first, but the course will help me identify those approaches as well.

Over the next 3 months I'll be refactoring and majorly expanding my GraphQL backend, so this will make things so much easier and more organized. I'm actually very excited about it.

I've read a lot of mixed / controversial reactions to NestJS on Reddit - but after learning the fundamental concepts of it, and going through a few test examples, I can't understand why anyone prefers to write regular JavaScript on the backend except for very simple use cases.

Wanago.io has a great long running series with NestJS.

There's a great Udemey course that most of the community has enjoyed and learned a lot from.

There's NestJS's official course if you're willing to pay the money for that, taught by Kamil (the framework creator) and a co-worker of his.

The NestJS docs do a pretty good job of walking you through the basics as is.

And if you still need help after that or just have general questions the Discord server almost always has someone online who is willing to help
