VideoTube: First Backend Project

Overview

This project marks my first in-depth experience with backend development, focusing on building and managing server-side logic and APIs. It demonstrates my ability to set up a backend environment, handle data storage, and implement essential functionalities such as authentication and CRUD operations, laying a strong foundation for future full-stack development projects.

Goals and Motivation

The goal of this project was to gain practical experience in backend development by building a functional server-side application. Motivated by a desire to understand how APIs, databases, and authentication work together, I aimed to strengthen my skills in creating reliable, scalable backend systems—essential for becoming a proficient full-stack developer.
