I know I can use & at the end of a command to make it run in background and && to connect multiple commands at the same line. However, when I use them together it seems not work. Below is an example.
json-server --watch db.json & && python -m http.server 7777
The error message is:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `&&'
Is it possible to make them work together? Thanks.

It seems you want this
json-server --watch db.json & python -m http.server 7777
The && is not to connect multiple commands at the same line, that is ;. The && is a logical AND. You can't use an AND if you don't wait for the command to exit.
