Great video! seems like a good source to figure out what I'm missing to become a more well-rounded backend dev. Several questions: 1. Regarding the part about Non-Relational DBs, most of my experience is with MongoDB. would you recommend adding it to the map as well? 2. Do you think Message Ques are also part of backend dev ? and if so where would you put them on the map

@alexhyettdev Жыл бұрын

Thank you. Yes MongoDB is a good option too. I haven’t personally got much experience with it as I have mostly used AWS and Azure. I need to make it clear on my roadmap which ones are alternatives of the same thing. Message queues are definitely worth knowing. Again I have gone down the AWS SQS or Azure Service Bus route. I should probably separate this out to cover the concepts rather than the technologies themselves.

@MZ-uv3sr Ай бұрын

That linked to graphic is great. Now do front end? They ask if I'm full stack, and well I work regularly on all the parts, but the stack keeps getting taller. The downside of this roadmap is how do you know when you can mark that item "learned". Some of these things are very deep, AWS, Azure for example. I get tangled up in what to know next and then analysis paralysis on which of the thousands of options to choose to learn it. I've been a developer a very long time, but in trying to level up unless it's something specific for work, I get tangled up in which path to take.

As you already have Oracle knowledge I can assume your are pretty good at databases. I would make sure you are familiar with MySql and MS SQL, as they are used a lot more. From there I would work outwards so create a console app that can talk to the database, then an API etc.

Python is a great language to learn all the basics, but to be honest I haven't seen many companies use it for enterprise applications. That doesn't mean that it isn't used, but I know a lot of companies prefer to use C# or Java. If you do want to use Python for backend then you definitely will want to use either django, flask or fast api. I haven't got enough experience in any of them to tell you which to learn. I would try a few of them out and see what you prefer. I have heard django is quite an opinionated framework, but you get more out of the box.

No code tools are good if you are solving a particular pain point for consumers. They can get the job done but don’t always look as good as if it was natively developed. Although if it solves the customers problem they might not care what it looks like. Eventually though you will probably need to get developers as no-code tools don’t always scale well or will become expensive.

I have also learnt data analytics, graphics design, css and html but the question i have for those that are already there is that. Is it important to understand the concept and have somewhere you store all you have learnt because i mostly write everything i learn i think its taking me more time to learn things. I have been at it for 8 months grinding and learning morning and night most of the times. But i dont want to waste so much time knowing everything to bits if everyone there doesnt waste too muh time knowing all about it. Every class i encounter, methods. I learn and take notes about everything but at this point, i think i am doing too much. Pls can anyone tell me how it is over there. I need help from someone that has gotten a job and knows what happens as an employeer.

@alexhyettdev 10 ай бұрын

It is really helpful to write everything down and keep your own knowledge base. When you do get a job it will be really useful. The key is to make sure you can use everything you have learnt. So make sure you are putting your knowledge to use by building projects as well. Employers are less interested in what you know and more interested in that you can apply it to build software for them.

@DeathStraightUp123 10 ай бұрын

If you're afraid that you may be over doing learning. I would say try to make a project and put everything that you have learned so far in it while you're studying/learning because at the end of the day taking notes and learning things aren't going to be enough. You have to exercise and harness what you've learned, there will be a time that you're gonna forget some things of what you've learned and you're gonna have to go over your notes or google just to find it and maybe learn it again You don't need to learn everything you're a human you don't need to punish yourself like that. I would say, make a plan of what project you're going to do and when you come up with something then ask yourself how are you gonna do it. So basically, what I'm trying to say is learn while you're using what you learned in a project.

sir are you using python? i learn only fundamentals of python, whats next should i learn? \

@alexhyettdev 11 ай бұрын

Python is great for learning the fundamentals as a lot of the other languages have other baggage that gets in the way of learning the basics. I still use Python a lot for personal automation scripts. What to learn next will depend on what your goals are. If your goal is to get a job, a lot of companies use C# and Javascript so you can use this roadmap to help. Java is also very popular and similar to C# syntax wise but I prefer C#.

Surprised how Python didn't even make the list of languages to pick for backend development.

@alexhyettdev 11 ай бұрын

That’s more down to my experience with what I can teach to a high level. C#, Javascript and Java is used extensively for backend development at enterprise companies and startups. That doesn’t mean Python isn’t but I am not best placed to teach it!

You don't need to cover everything. As far as the internet is concerned I think it is enough to understand DNS, IP Addresses, Subnet masks, Domain Names and TCP/IP. Just having a basic understanding of these is enough to get started.

Can I become a backend developer without CS background or education?

It is definitely possible. I studied Physics at University instead of CS, but I know plenty of other developers who don't have a degree in anything and still managed to get a job. It can take a little longer though.

@alexhyettdev Жыл бұрын

It can definitely feel that way to begin with. Although I think frontend is more difficult in some cases with the amount you need to learn. You don't need to learn everything on this roadmap to be a backend developer. There will be a lot of developers employed that don't know half of this stuff, so don't worry too much.

@alexhyettdev 9 ай бұрын

I haven't taken it personally but from looking at the course outline it looks a little basic. If you are completely new to software development, and you want to go down the python route it looks OK. However by the looks of it you have to sign up for Coursera at $59 a month or $399 a year which is a bit steep unless you plan on doing a lot of courses. zerotomastery.io has more in depth courses at a cheaper price or if you want to go down the .Net route then dometrain.com has more professional courses without a monthly fee.

It depends what you are interested in and where you would like to work. Enterprise backend development is mostly C# and Java. Startups are more likely to use Node.js but they may also use Go or some other newer language. I personally prefer C# over Java but that is just me.
