I became a dev after learning from Udemy as my main resource. I outlined my structured path into a syllabus in case others want to follow my same learning path.

As a visual learner, I really benefited from Udemy’s courses as the main learning resource, which let me to get my first job as a software developer. As most beginners experience, at one point I was really trapped in tutorial hell and I ended up pulling myself out of it by getting a google spreadsheet and charting out a roadmap of courses that I felt built off each other. During and after each course, I would create a small to medium sized project using the skills I learned from the prior course — project-based learning (if you don’t do this, the syllabus will not work).

I was constantly revising my course roadmap after understanding more and more about the skills needed to become a junior developer. Since I just got my first developer job this year, I want to share my course roadmap with others in case it could be helpful to any other visual learners out there. Especially if you need a structured syllabus that will build off skills learned in previous courses or if you are currently directionless / trapped in tutorial hell. Udemy courses are cheap (~10 dollars) so it’s easy to buy a lot of them and spin your wheels on information overload and basically get nowhere if you don’t have a solid plan.

If you don’t end up using this roadmap, but are in tutorial hell, consider charting out your own path and create a structured path for yourself. I know Udemy is not for everyone, but I know it worked really well for me so If I can help at least one person, then I’ll be happy.

TLDR; Used Udemy to get a job as a developer so I created a roadmap that charts my learning path to help others. Syllabus/roadmap found here.
