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.

I hope you enjoy this short article. If you want to stay informed about software engineering and more, please don't hesitate to follow me. Thank you.
