Hey everyone! I just wrapped up the last problem set in Harvard's CS50 course and I'm gearing up for my final project. After that, I'm planning to create a website for my boss's business. I'm also looking into using Boot.dev for further learning, and maybe diving into some online math courses on the side. I'm passionate about becoming a backend developer and I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for additional resources or things I could do to enhance my education further?

I think it’s important to have a reality check. You’re jumping from an introductory course to making a business website, and that might be a bit ambitious. Remember, you’re just starting out, and building a production-ready website requires more experience than just the basics. But if your boss just needs a simple static site, that’s a more achievable goal!
It's awesome to see your enthusiasm! I've mentored quite a few students and I recommend focusing on building projects with specific backend frameworks, like Flask or Spring Boot. If you find a mentor along the way, that can really help you navigate your learning path effectively!
Exactly! If it's just a simple HTML/CSS site to explain the business, that’s definitely doable. Focus on the basics first, then you can build up your skills from there!
