## Description

Using TypeScript as a backend language is becoming increasingly popular. Especially because you only need one language for the backend and frontend. But classic Node.js backend development often lacks structure and architecture. This is why you should start using Nest.js. Nest.js is an increasingly popular web framework that solves exactly these problems.

In this session I will show:
- Why I've become a big fan of Nest.js over the last two years.
- How to implement a REST API in Nest.js step by step.
- What functions Nest.js brings (dependency injection, validation pipes, etc.).
- What else there is to consider when using Nest.js.
