Meta Back-End Developer

Meta's back-end path, from server logic to shipped APIs

This Professional Certificate from Meta teaches the server side of web development — the layer that powers the interfaces millions of people never see directly. Expect hands-on work with back-end concepts alongside the front-end fundamentals (HTML, CSS, React.js) that make a full picture of how a web app actually works end to end.

Pitched at beginners, it assumes no prior coding background, building programming logic gradually before moving into the networking and server concepts that back-end roles depend on.

Key skills covered

• Back-end web development fundamentals
• General networking and how web servers operate
• React.js and responsive front-end building blocks for full-stack context
• UI component patterns and modern web design practices

Over 203,000 learners have taken this on — a solid signal for anyone weighing a Meta credential as their entry into professional web development.
