Roadmaps.sh: The Free Developer Learning Resource You Should Bookmark

A junior developer gets a tip from their senior engineer and immediately wants to share it. The resource is roadmaps.sh, a community-driven site that lays out structured learning paths for every major role in software engineering.

The site presents a grid of role-based and skill-based roadmaps: Frontend, Backend, DevOps, Full Stack, Android, iOS, Cyber Security, UX Design, MLOps, and more. Pick a role, and you get a full visual flowchart of every tool, topic, and technology you need to learn, organized in a logical progression from fundamentals to advanced concepts.

The video walks through the DevOps roadmap as an example. The flowchart starts with learning a programming language, then branches into operating systems, terminal knowledge, version control, networking protocols, and continues outward into infrastructure topics like containers, configuration management, CI/CD, and cloud providers. Each node in the roadmap is clickable. Select a topic and the site surfaces curated articles, documentation, and video resources so you know exactly where to go next. You can also check off topics as you complete them, turning the roadmap into a personal progress tracker.

Beyond the pre-built paths, the site lets you create custom roadmaps. If your career goal crosses multiple disciplines, or you want to focus on a specific stack, you can build a tailored learning plan from scratch.
