This roadmap will guide you from a beginner to professional full-stack developer, focusing on Python for backend development.
- Learn basic tags:
<div>,<p>,<h1>,<a>,<img>,<form>, etc. - Understand semantic HTML.
- Build 2–3 simple static web pages.
- Learn selectors, box model, flexbox, and grid.
- Practice responsive design using media queries.
- Explore Tailwind CSS or Bootstrap.
- Learn variables, functions, loops, and DOM manipulation.
- Understand ES6+ features (let, const, arrow functions, promises).
- Work with Fetch API and async/await.
- Build mini-projects like a To-Do app or weather app.
- Learn data types, loops, conditionals.
- Functions, modules, OOP (Classes & Objects).
- File handling and error handling.
- Manage dependencies using virtual environments (
venv,pipenv).
Choose one to master:
- Routing (
@app.route) - Templates (Jinja2)
- Forms & sessions
- REST APIs (JSON response)
- Connect with databases using SQLAlchemy
- High performance (async I/O)
- Auto-generated Swagger UI
- Data validation using Pydantic
- JWT Authentication
- Build RESTful APIs efficiently
- MySQL or PostgreSQL
- CRUD operations, joins, indexes
- Database normalization
- MongoDB (perfect with FastAPI)
- Learn about collections and documents
- Use
pymongoormotorlibraries
- Components, Props, and State
- Hooks (useState, useEffect, useContext)
- React Router for navigation
- Fetch API or Axios for backend communication
- Styling using Tailwind or CSS Modules
Optional Alternatives: Vue.js or Svelte
- Implement JWT-based authentication (FastAPI / Flask-JWT-Extended)
- OAuth for Google/GitHub login
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Build RESTful APIs using Python backend
- Connect frontend (React) with backend (Flask/FastAPI)
- Test APIs using Postman or Thunder Client
- Handle CORS and environment variables
- Version Control: Git & GitHub
- CI/CD Basics: GitHub Actions
- Containerization: Docker
- Deployment Platforms: Render, Vercel, AWS, DigitalOcean
- Server Tools: Nginx & Gunicorn for production
- Unit testing:
unittest,pytest - API testing with Postman
- End-to-end testing using Cypress or Playwright
- WebSockets: (Real-time chat using FastAPI + Socket.IO)
- Redis: (Caching and session management)
- Celery: (Background task management)
- GraphQL: (Alternative to REST)
Start small and scale up:
| Project Idea | Tech Stack |
|---|---|
| 📝 To-Do App | Flask + SQLite |
| 💬 Chat App | FastAPI + React + WebSockets |
| 🛒 E-commerce Website | React + FastAPI + MongoDB |
| 📸 Portfolio Website | React + Tailwind CSS |
| 🎓 Learning Management System | FastAPI + React + PostgreSQL |
- Write clean, modular code following MVC patterns.
- Create a strong GitHub portfolio.
- Deploy real-world projects publicly.
- Learn basic system design and scalability concepts.
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Frontend | React + Tailwind CSS |
| Backend | FastAPI (Python) |
| Database | PostgreSQL / MongoDB |
| Auth | JWT / OAuth |
| Deployment | Docker + Render / AWS |
| Version Control | Git + GitHub |
Becoming a full-stack developer is not about learning everything at once — it’s about building consistently, step by step.
Start small, stay consistent, and keep building real-world projects!
