Problems in Learning Backend
So It has been a great piece of time that I am trying to learn backend, I am with zero backend knowledge
I have good hands on html,css,js. I also know C# and database servers sqlite and sql server I have used these with winforms
I look into different tutorials for beginners but I seem to not hold on that because they they are adding a lot packages they don't bother to explain how it all works some may not tell what they are doing basically coding the stuff and not telling how it's all connected. It's not with one video it's most of them out there
What I want to achieve is that I want to learn to create web applications for example I had to make a fine management system for a college
I know html, css, js, c#, sqlite database
but I don't know how backend actually works.
if anyone really guide me by sharing some things that would be life saving I have probably wasted weeks. I hope someone understands this and can find something for me
I would want to learn backend with C#
I just want to have a foundation after that I will decide to go into backend mastery with different models or ways whatever they are but I am unable to get a basic backend thing for myself.

read aspnet core docs
read ef core docs (the thing people usually use for db access)
learn how to use controllers
MVC, API Calls
Create a new WebAPI project and make... something. A library management system, a movie reviews API, something like that
Google your way to completion, ask here if you're stuck
I asked the similar piece of question from someone else he said "you first have to go through fetch api, minimal api thing with vanilla js and asp .net core to grasp how backend works"
You can just use
.http files, Bruno, or even just curl to interact with an API
No need to even touch JS at the beginning
If you want to make a frontend to interact with the API later, sure, it's easy enough to do
