Our Verdict
The Fundamentals of Backend Engineering course on Udemy offers a comprehensive look into various backend communication design patterns and protocols. Despite its merits, it suffers from disorganized content structure, overly lengthy lessons, and an inconsistent use of visual aids. The instructor is knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter but fails to effectively communicate some of the more complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. While this course provides valuable insights for both beginners and experienced engineers, it could benefit greatly from tighter editing, reorganization, and additional real-world examples.
