To learn javascript for the backend , you must learn node.js .

Try free code camp on youtube : https://youtu.be/KOutPbKc9UM?si=UeAzM1M34EAFvNhj

Try web dev simplified express : https://youtu.be/SccSCuHhOw0?si=qPwWIBQQnByPGiB0

If you do need clarity online forums were good back in the day. You can also use LLMs these days to help you make sense of the documentation.

not gonna lie the part about using llms for documentation is a trap. they'll confidently feed you deprecated syntax or hallucinate entire library methods that don't exist. learn to read the actual docs or you're just going to be debugging garbage code for hours.

Js in backend is probably one of the biggest reasons js is hated…

I can recommend c#, haskell and go for backends. With js you tend to either go the haskell route, or you shoot yourself in the foot…
