JavaScript Back-end - list of courses

Hi All,

I want to dive deep into backend development using JS. I need your help in order to create a list of courses from the beginner level into advanced, and even ideas for small projects along the way. As I see it now this is the first draft of the list:

  1. Node.js basics
  2. npm basics
  3. Build a simple dynamic site with Node.js
  4. Express Basics
  5. Build a REST API with Express
  6. User Authentication with Express
  7. OAuth Authentication with Passport
  8. Deploy a node application to heroku

I will appreciate your opinions on the list - and any ideas for projects along the way we be welcome.

Thanks!

No, are those topics necessary before moving to backend?
