Backend Developer Roadmap
There are many things in life that definitely require something to be accomplished. It takes time and effort to study to be a Backend Engineer, and if you are a self-learner, it's more complicated than ever. Sometimes, studying for four years straight to have a Bachelor's in Computer Science is better. The following is an informal way to show you the guidelines to remember. It's my recommendation opinion:
The following bullets don't include subcategories because it will be a long page that won't end just with the basics:
What is the internet
Pick a programming language (Python, Javascript, Java, C++, etc.)
Version Control Sytems
Relational Database
Learn about APIs
Caching
Web Security
Testing
Scaling Databases
Software Design & Architecture
Design and Development Principles
Containerization vs Virtualization
Real-Time Data
GraphQL
NoSQL Databases
Building For Scale
Basic Infrastructure Knowledge
That will take a long time, but I don't have to follow that order. Many things are connected and more organized; I recommend a free tool to do that. You can generate your own roadmap in this for me Backend Developer:
This website tool allows you to generate your own Roadmap. I love this page because you can record what you do in your daily life, so you don't have to worry about tracking it in a spreadsheet, Word document, or any other media that has this kind of project structure as a diagram.
There are many roadmaps to choose from:
Full Stack
Frontend
Backend
Android
Blockchain
QA
UX Design
Game Developer
Product Manager
Data Analyst
And much more, so if you feel lost next time, this is a great tool to have a direction.
