Node.js & Express → Nest HTTP → SQL & TypeORM → auth & API craft → platform judgment — weekly Notes milestones (auto-validated).
Week 1 — Node.js, Express & NestJS HTTP foundations
12 topicsUnderstand the Node runtime and Express request flow before learning the structure Nest adds — then ship Notes P1 as this week’s mini-project.
Week 2 — PostgreSQL & TypeORM
13 topicsLearn SQL first, then connections (pool/SSL), then TypeORM entities, repos, migrations, seeds, relations, and transactions — then ship Notes P2 as this week’s mini-project.
Week 3 — Auth, contracts & API craft
16 topicsSecure Nest APIs with JWT/RBAC, shape contracts, and craft list endpoints — then ship Notes P3 as this week’s mini-project.
Week 4 — Platform, craft & capstone
16 topicsJudge when to use Redis, files, RabbitMQ, Docker, and WebSockets; then test, optimize, challenge, review, and finish Notes P4 as this week’s mini-project.
