Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah there's been a ton of suggestions for what the colors should mean but I'm leaning towards something like what you're suggesting!

The problem for me when I was beginning was not necessarily learning each technology, but rather the glue between each. That is what I tend to find confusing and is much harder to find resources for that clearly and exclusively demonstrate how to bridge the different technologies. Would love if you could add those type of items. For ex. I know Node, some Mongo, and am a avid user of Heroku. Recently I was trying to s…

Yeah - I know what you mean. When I first learned python, I had to figure out on my own how to piece it together with mongo heroku and tornado. I'll look into it!

I like this, you should include Udacity for the Python section. They teach everything from Basic Python to web development to software testing and even debugging. Can't find better resource for Python than https://www.udacity.com

I was JUST about to do this. I love Udactiy's python course - since they take you through everything and even teach you to build a search engine on the way!

A good list so far. The lack of XML though, in addition to JSON's claim of being the ubiquitous data transfer format, seems a bit hyperbolic.

You're right XML should definitely be on there. I was going to put something in there with REST and SOAP with JSON and XML too. If you have suggestions for where, please pull!

It is definitely meant to be narrow. I think that a lot of beginners are overwhelmed by how many resources there are for each piece (hence the I would love to put something in here for integration between each technology, though I'm struggling to figure out how...
