Frontend roadmap completly ignores everything that isn't a Web browser. So no Qt, wxWidgets, Android, iOS, WPF, Forms, UWP, WinUI, GNOME, KDE, ...
I think this would come as news to a large group of people, including myself. I've only ever imagined a front end developer working on the web.

Be prepared to be surprised then.
Trust me, I’ve been on plenty of successful interviews. Not once have they wanted a “full stack developer” or a front end developer that could do Windows Forms. I’m not saying that no one wants desktop developers - they just don’t refer to them as “front end” developers. Windows Forms or any windows desktop development was already losing favor when I was looking for a job in 2008 after being at one company for almost…
Plenty of companies are doing greenfield native UIs, including desktop. Mobile is desktop as well, just a matter of hardware form factor.

Doctors, lawyers, and real engineers at least have similar or more broad domains they must be experts in, or people die. CEO is a hard role not because of domain area but because of risk and uncertainty, both of which tend to be low when you're "at the bottom of the food chain."
All doctors, lawyers and real engineers I know only focus on one aspect. They are specialists. I know lawyers who specialises in rape cases, conveyancing, ligitation, but I have never met a lwayer who is expected to solve a rape case today and register a bond tomorrow. Same with doctors. They specialise and only focus on one domain. I was talking about skills when I included CEO, not about risk. When there is lots of…
I do think he's in the top 5% of MDs, so of course we can't expect this of everyone. And specialists obviously specialize. But there is a large segment of the profession that requires a wide breadth of knowledge in a domain that frequently changes.

Believe me as well, doing frontend native and Web UIs since mid-90s, including digital agencies. Plenty of companies are doing greenfield native UIs, including desktop. Mobile is desktop as well, just a matter of hardware form factor.
But its really not hard to look at job boards or where the money is going both from internal and external investments to see which cart to tie your horse to. It definitely is not the desktop.
Even Microsoft isn’t really focusing on desktop development and has put .Net Framework in maintenance mode.
These lists are so depressing. Is there any other career where people are expected to know 100 things just to be an employee at the bottom of the food chain? I won't be surprised if it is harder to be a Full Stack Developer than to be a CEO of a multi-national corporation. Looks like we are pushing everything to Developers. Developers of the future are going to need a fulltime pyschologist to cope with this ever incr…
A lot of stuff, true, but nothing particularly challenging.
I would say the hardest part is CSS, but using a framework like Bootstrap and then googling the little problems "how best to X in CSS" usually works.

Well, you are not supposed to know all of them by heart. just start by what you need and know what other technologies that exist so you can learn them when the need arises. for me, I think I know or have a vague idea about most of the concepts mentioned in Frontend and Backend. But DevOps sections seems intimidating to me. People in other fields might feel the same way about Frontend or Backend Development. The thing…
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…

You're talking about client development in general.
I suppose web clients stole their own term because of the idiosyncrasies with web browsers, like how the server can ship declarative HTML to the browser for a fully-working UI which is a unique phenomenon.
There are issues with this weird distinction though. For example, people will complain how hard "front-end development" is, thinking it's something unique to the web, without knowing that all client development is hard.
What does yellow color in some boxes mean?
Would love to see a roadmap added for embedded development or system level programming etc. There is a huge emphasis on "the web" when it comes to software engineering, that people forget (especially college students figuring out a career path), that there are many jobs in defence, hardware companies, etc. that develop software without using any web technologies at all.
What exactly qualifies as a web technology? Isn't anything on an IP address a web technology?

No sane person would pick anything but Electron for a desktop app today, unless you are in a particularly high performance domain (CAD/Graphics/Video/...)
