What’s the number one reason people struggle with learning to code?
The answer:
There is no one-size-fits-all answer, actually. 🤔
But if had to guess, not having a clear roadmap is something that I hear people complain about the most. If you don’t know what you don’t know, how are you supposed to learn anything? Because of this, I figured it’d be helpful to create my own roadmap of coding concepts that are important to learn for ANY aspiring software engineer:
After not much deliberation, here is the final list!
Data Types 🦄
Variables 👩🏽💻
Conditionals ✅
Operations ➕
Data Structures 🔢
Functions/Methods ☎️
Object Oriented Programming 🐱
Functional Programming 🎬
File I/O 📂
Http Protocol 👩🏽💻
Message Queue Systems 👚
APIs (microservies) 🤡
Containerization 🎃
Cluster Management Systems 😮💨
Cloud Services ☁️
CI/CD process 🅿️
Manual/Unit/Functional Testing 🧪
System Design - Caching/Load Balancers/Scaling/Networking etc. 🤯
Course Careers, a platform that teaches lot of the things I listed ^ is a great way to start tackling those concepts. It has its’ own roadmap, of sorts, where you can pace yourself and learn how to code from scratch. This is a bootcamp-like structure, where you can chat with other bootcamp students via discord, meet with professionals to network, ask for help, and more! The awesome thing is, it’s worth a fraction of the price of university, or even more traditional bootcamps.
