React Next.js Rest API Backend Typescript Course 2025

Master Next.js 15, Prisma, MongoDB & TypeScript by Building a Secure Job Board API with Authentication, Zod Validation &

What you'll learn
- Build a complete RESTful Job Board API using Next.js 15 App Router, with route groups, dynamic routes, and a clean, scalable project structure.
- Implement secure login with JWT tokens and protect all API routes using Next.js Middleware with support for job seeker and employer roles.
- Use Prisma with MongoDB to handle models, perform full CRUD operations, and run simple or multi-model transactions like a pro.
- Validate all request data with Zod schemas to ensure clean, accurate input before saving anything to the database.

Requirements
- Basic understanding of JavaScript Some familiarity with Node.js or React is helpful, but not required A modern code editor like VS Code Node.js and MongoDB Atlas accounts (we’ll guide you through setup) A willingness to learn by building — step by step, from scratch No advanced knowledge is needed. If you’ve done a bit of frontend or played with JavaScript before, you’re ready to start. This course is designed to guide beginners into full-stack backend development with confidence.

Description
Ready to become a job-ready backend developer? In this hands-on course, you’ll build a fully functionalJob Posting REST APIusingNext.js 15 App Router,Prisma ORM,MongoDB, andTypeScript— a powerful stack used by top companies today.

You’ll learn how to create a modern backend where users can register asJob Seekers or Employers, post jobs, view listings, and manage data with fullCRUDfunctionality. Authentication is handled usingJWT tokenswithNext.js Middlewareto protect routes globally. Passwords are securely hashed withbcryptjs, and all data is validated usingZod schemasto ensure reliability.

We’ll implementpaginationto efficiently handle large sets of job posts and improve performance. You’ll also useroute groups,dynamic routing, and organize your API using clean architecture and thePrisma Singleton pattern. To simulate real-world development, we’ll exploresimple and multi-model transactionsfor managing complex database operations safely.

This course is beginner-friendly but packed with professional-grade practices that prepare you for freelance work, interviews, or your first developer role.

By the end, you’ll have built a complete backend — and the confidence to build APIs that work in the real world. Course taught by Matthew Msingathi the designer and developer form South Africa
