Back-end web development is where the magic happens on websites. Finding the perfect rental, sharing a photo from the cloud, and keeping people secure while using the web are all driven by back-end web developers.
If you like building frameworks, working on complex projects, and the idea of making solutions that can help millions of people, Back-End Web Development might be for you.
The first three trimesters of our on-site intensive education covers the foundations of computer science and software engineering. Students will explore and learn practical low-level programming, high-level programming, algorithms, databases, system engineering, and networking technologies.
For the last trimester, students will then focus on key back-end concepts and technologies. This includes languages like Python and Javascript, and concepts like API pagination, caching algorithms, testing, authentication mechanisms, and background jobs.
Students will learn how to architect and develop for platforms that are secure, optimized, stable and scalable.
Technical writing is an invaluable skill and an excellent way to articulate and share your knowledge.
Collaboration is key to successful business. You will learn project management, interpersonal communication, and team collaboration skills.
It is not enough for you to know the answers to the questions; you need to be able to clearly communicate your thought processes and understanding.
The Framework provides the structure, order, and balance necessary to maintain a productive peer learning environment and will help you succeed throughout your career.
Whiteboarding is an essential skill in the tech industry, both for effective planning and for excelling in tech interviews.

“I chose Holberton because they accept people based on their potential, not past experience. I graduated in Theology, which is pretty far from computer programming, but I am now studing how to become a software engineer because Holberton could see my drive and how well I could learn.”— Jorge C., cohort 10 Cali, Colombia
