“Many people who excel are self-taught” — Herb Ritts

The term self-taught developer is thought to be an oxymoron for a lot of folks. Indeed, every developer is, to a certain degree, self-taught. However, my way of looking at being a self-taught developer is to be able to write production-level code while having a minimal/no college background in computer science, engineering, or IT (much like myself).

In this article, we will look at a few repositories that I have found useful to build/improve skills in software development.

1. developer-roadmap

⭐️⭐️⭐️ — 164k
⑂⑂⑂ — 23.7k

This repository is great for those looking for a career in software web development. The three suggested paths covered in this repository are:

  • Frontend developer
  • Backend developer
  • DevOps

The repository covers all the skills and technology required for each of these paths. It also provides a strategy to learn these skills in a structured manner.
