Hey guys, I am the person behind this website. Please know that it is still in progress. I wanted the initial version out so it is just the "roadmap" images for now. However, I am working on making these roadmaps more accessible for the beginners and easier to contribute to. In the list of things planned for the coming week is the textual version for each with different sections (job-ready, intermediate, advanced, ov…

Frontend roadmap completly ignores everything that isn't a Web browser.

So no Qt, wxWidgets, Android, iOS, WPF, Forms, UWP, WinUI, GNOME, KDE, ...

I've looked at the "Backend Developer" guide, I'm surprised that it doesn't mention git or any other version control tools. I think it could be a useful addition; nowadays version control is part of almost all backend projects.

Thank you for pointing it out. It is still being modified and will hopefully be fixed this week along with the other changes. It was there in the "common" section in the repository https://github.com/kamranahmedse/developer-roadmap but was missed when moving the roadmap to the website.

1. Yes, git should definitely appear in a common / transverse section. Oh, I see it now appears.

2. What do you mean "missed when moving the roadmap to the website"? Don't you have an automated deployment setup?

3. I see no code at all in the repository. This looks like free-to-contribute documentation, not FOSS then. Still, very good thing that you did it.

4. Also, besides web (that you cover) and embedded (as mentioned in other comments, and writing device driver can be considered similar), there is still also desktop applications, signal processing oriented programming (including electrical, sound, image and similar) and their number-crunching oriented cousins (machine learning, smart data import with added value, data science and similar) and security. I personally know startups that do each of these.

I think I don't understand these. They seem too high level to actually be useful. There's a old Steve Martin skit from the 70s where he's says he's going to tell you "How to get a million dollars and never pay taxes...... Step 1: Get a million dollars ...". These roadmaps seem about that level. Am I missing it? Are these actually useful? For example clicking backend the first thing is it lists 14 languages (although…

I partially agree. The backend map seems really wishy-washy. The front end map seems much more useful, just because it's more limited in scope. It would be better I feel with in depth tutorials for every step, or links to them, with achievable goals at every step, kind of like a testable curriculum.

I think job descriptions saying "Frontend Developer" and "Backend Developer" nowadays imply the Web.

Agreed, the "Pick a language" phase is one of the most difficult parts of starting a developer path especially without context, atleast in my memory.

There isnt a good reason to just pick something like python or typescript if you want to build native phone apps for example
