2018 - 2020 Study plan

The aims of these years is to have a deep understanding of Web development while building projects along the way, get a good foundation in Math, Algorithms and Data Structures, and enough preparation to get a job on the field.

Part One - Getting Job Ready

Tier 0 - Prep

Goal:Be comfortable with git by midway through Tier 1, and comfortable with Precalculus by midway through Tier 2.

Anything in Tier 0 can be studied before beginning Tier 1, or alongside the rest of the guide as you progress through the other Tiers.

Tier 1 - Intro to Programming

Goal: Become Proficient with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

You should be able to get the FreeCodeCamp Frontend Certification after this tier

Tier 2 - Add Complexity

Goal: Become familiar with D3.js and Node.js to strengthen your proficiency with JavaScript by exploring how it's used in a Full Stack application.

During this tier you should get the FreeCodeCamp Data Visualization Certification. Also, from now on this you'll Depth dive into Computer Science.

Tier 3 - Practice

Goal: Practice Frontend Development in greater depth and continue studying JavaScript, ensuring you understand the algorithms and data structures you're likely to encounter in interviews (and on the job).

During this tier you should get the FreeCodeCamp Backend Certification. Being the hardest tier, you should combine the projects carefully with the topics covered during the part two from of this guide.

  • Project: Read these resources on how to contribute to Open Source - and make two contributions to open source projects (of your choice) by the end of this Tier.
  • Book: Open Data Structures.
  • Project: Finish all classic puzzles on CodinGame from easy through hard by the end of the Tier.
  • Project: Clone Medium. Include: create account, create post, publish post, edit post, add topic to post, follow user, follow topic, cheer for post, and home page with feed of recent posts, followed users, and followed topics.
  • Project: Pick a template from here, here or here and implement the frontend of a website with it as your inspiration (do not use its assets)
  • Project: Select an API from Todd Motto's API List and build a frontend-only application powered by data fetched from the API you chose. Consider building it as a Chrome Extension, Mobile, or Electron App

  • Project: Select an API from Todd Motto's API List and build a frontend-only application powered by data fetched from the API you chose. Consider building it as a Chrome Extension, Mobile, or Electron App
  • Project: Full stack project of your choice (ideas: clone Facebook, Reddit, Netflix, Slack) - Consider building it as a Chrome Extension, Mobile, or Electron App.
  • Project: Full stack project of your choice (make it grand) - or do a one month Speedrun of the FreeCodeCamp Projects.

Tier 4 - Wrap everything up and prep for interviews

Goal: Interview with confidence.

By the end of this tier, you should have completed at least 50% of the part two

  • Project: Finish any questions you have remaining from JavaScript Interview Prep
  • Project: Finish any of 100 Days of CSS you have yet to complete.
  • Project: Create and polish your Portfolio site. and your portfolio.
  • Project: Create and polish your Resume/CV.
  • Project: Cracking the Coding Interview on HackerRank
  • Project: Continue honing your skills as you interview. Prioritize contributing to open source.

Part Two - Depth dive into Computer Science

Math

Algorithms and Data Structures

Programming

From soft-medium to advace topics This part is mostly personalized as I already have experience with Python and C++

Sidenote: Obviously, this isn't perfect. It is mostly an outgoing project.
