Being a Full Stack Developer requires extensive knowledge and continuous learning, as the tech field is ever-evolving. It's not limited to a specific number of technologies, so a constant learning attitude is crucial. In this blog, I'm providing a solid roadmap that you can follow to become a full-stack developer in 2024.

Let's start -

Here are some tips you can follow to gain the best out of this Roadmap: -

• Learn while Building Projects.

• Share your Learning in Public.

• Anyone can grasp concepts, but the ability to code and create something meaningful sets you apart.

• Make Friends with similar passions, if not offline make online.

• Build Projects on your own.

• Someone can learn these technologies in 6 months, and someone can learn these technologies in 2 years. It all depends on how much time you put in.
  "This is not depend on years, weeks, days, It all depend on hours"

Firstly Full Stack Developer consists of 4 things -

1. Frontend

2. Backend

3. Database

4. Containerization

Frontend Development -

if you want to learn front you can follow this path -

1. HTML - HTML is the first thing anyone needs to learn, in the era of AI, you should give too much time to this, 10-15 days are the most.

2. CSS - CSS is most important, because every website you build, is there for you, so I think one and a half months is enough, and for me learning CSS is a lifelong process, but it depends on you.

   

3. Git/Github - Version Control is one of the most important in today's world, you'll build projects so that now you need to store them in a place for future access Git/Github is most important, 15 days is enough to learn this.

4. Javascript - Learning Javascript is both Fun and challenging, allocate two months if you do not have any prior knowledge of programming. Learning this solid helps to learn React fast.

   Now it is time to choose a Javascript Framework, you can choose whatever suits you like React or Angular, but I am choosing React here.

5. React - Learning React gives you the superpower to create web applications easily, and it's easy to learn, for this, allocate two months, and after learning React you can create any Frontend part easily.

6. Tailwind- Tailwind is a Framework of CSS if you learned CSS properly, you can easily learn this while using it in a project.

7. Typescript - Learning Typescript gives you a huge advantage in finding bugs, it will help you in Early Error Detection, 15 days is enough to learn the concepts of it, and then apply it to the projects.

After that, you have 2 options you can learn NextJS (Full Stack Framework) or Node/ExpressJs, but in my opinion, if you learn one, learning another is just a piece of cake for you.

Backend Development and Database

Now you have learned Frontend it is time to learn Backend

1. Node - Learning Nodejs helps you to grasp backend concepts quickly, this is the first step for the Backend, allocate 15 days for this, and after that, you need to use the framework of Node for creating APIs.

2. Express - Express is a framework of nodeJs, through this, you can easily create APIs, and for that, allocate one and a half months.

3. MongoDB - MongoDB is a NoSQL database, so firstly learning this is beneficiary due to less complexity, 15 days is enough to learn.

   "After you learn all above mention technologies and build solid projects on your own (without following a tutorial) you can call yourself a MERN developer."

4. MySQL/Postgres - It's a SQL database, after learning MongoDB, you need to learn this, should take a proper 15 days.

Containerization

After you learn Frontend, Backend, and Database you should learn how to containerize an application, that you can learn Docker, It will take a minimum of 15 days to learn Docker.
This stuff is what I am currently learning, I will update this section when I learn this.

More things You need to learn for Full Stack Developer-

1. NextJS

2. Redux / Recoil

3. Prisma

4. Web Sockets

5. Redis

6. Kafka

7. Testing of Both Frontend and Backend

In this blog, I gave an Overall view of how to become a full-stack Developer, but as I previously said It does not depend on a particular Technology, It's a vast field, so it is never never-ending process.
If you want to know which topics you need to cover in a particular Technology you can check Roadmap. sh.

Thank you for reading, If this blog receives 100 reads or 50+ likes, I will create another blog specifically focused on providing valuable resources for above mentioned Technologies.

Happy Coding 🎉
