Ready to become a job-ready backend developer? In this hands-on course, you’ll build a fully functional Job Posting REST API using Next.js 15 App Router, Prisma ORM, MongoDB, and TypeScript — a powerful stack used by top companies today.
You’ll learn how to create a modern backend where users can register as Job Seekers or Employers, post jobs, view listings, and manage data with full CRUD functionality. Authentication is handled using JWT tokens with Next.js Middleware to protect routes globally. Passwords are securely hashed with bcryptjs, and all data is validated using Zod schemas to ensure reliability.
We’ll implement pagination to efficiently handle large sets of job posts and improve performance. You’ll also use route groups, dynamic routing, and organize your API using clean architecture and the Prisma Singleton pattern. To simulate real-world development, we’ll explore simple and multi-model transactions for 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
