A practical, India-focused backend developer roadmap that takes learners from programming fundamentals to production-ready backend systems. Emphasis is on hands-on projects, free-first resources (with paid options listed alongside free alternatives), database design, API design, security, cloud deployment, CI/CD and interview prep tailored to Indian hiring practices.
Build solid programming fundamentals, learn one backend language well, and master essential developer tools (terminal, Git, debugger).
Pick one primary language to become productive in — Python (fast to prototype), Node.js (JS stack), Java (enterprise), or Go (performance). Learn idiomatic usage, package management, and common libraries.
Command line fluency, using an IDE (VS Code), breakpoints, and version control with Git & GitHub.
Help us improve this roadmap for future learners. Your insights help us build the most accurate career paths.
