Learn to become a Backend Developer

Roadmap to becoming a Backend Developer in 2020

Update for 2020

This roadmap has been updated for 2020, please have a look at roadmap.sh

Web development today is completely different from what it was a few years ago; there are lots of different things that can easily baffle anyone entering into the web development. It was one of the reasons that we decided to make these step by step visual guides demonstrating the bigger picture and to give anyone a clear idea about what they have to follow to be in certain roles in web development.

About a week ago, we had a post titled Learn to become a Frontend Developer in which we promised to release the updated roadmaps for Backend and DevOps. Holding up to that promise, this article is about modern backend developer. If you haven’t checked the frontend developer roadmap already, go ahead and give it a look.

Before today, backend roadmap was just a flat out recommendation of technologies with no clear directions of the order in which it should have been followed. We have redrawn it just like frontend with step by step guides to give you a better idea.

We are still working on the DevOps and will hopefully release it by the next week. We will publish an article on that also, but here is the link to the repository for you to watch the updates.
