  • developer-roadmap

    Interactive roadmaps, guides and other educational content to help developers grow in their careers.

  • Personally, given your existing skillset, I would master javascript. Start off trying to build a blog using a simple static site generator like either 11ty or Astro and then take it from there. You might find this site useful:

  • Stackoverflow-Survey-Analysis

    Analyze a given Data and answer the questions using Python Pandas library. Stack Overflow Developer Survey Analysis and answers

  • I might be able to show you the direction.

    Since you are looking in those 3 factors, please study the following findings of the Surveys.

    You could tinker the above links to get your choice of month/year.

    Now, don't be tempted to lock down your decision because there is rarely any good resource to learn( or get help when you are stuck) in that choice you made. This is because learning is always best done via colleagues and bosses.

    Simply pause yourself on that and resume with learning Python + FastAPI + JavaScript (or Go + JavaScript). Garnish with Tailwind CSS and you are ready!

    This is the easiest way to translate your learning into your choice of stack. In the long run, you will learn Typescript + React for sure. It is as if the right of passage into the market, haha!
