Courses Idea for Taro: Can we create a roadmap for Software Engineers who want to focus on specific tracks

Entry-Level Software Engineer at Taro Community2 months ago

Can you create a roadmap for Software Engineers who want to focus on tracks like Full stack development, backend development, frontend development. Another Idea can be creating a roadmap to master specific languages in demand like React, PHP, Java.

Thank you!

FYI: This is an idea I want Rahul and Alex to see.

One thing we've thought about is to have more "practical" courses that also don't have an expiration date. Things like "Git Masterclass" or "Terminal commands you should know"

  I understand your perspective. The key is to focus on courses that will always be relevant no matter what. It’s also important to focus on skills that help people in the real world which I’m happy to get a lot of that from the Taro community.

It's on our roadmap! We took our first foray into this with the web dev course: Become A Better Web Developer: Basic React Best Practices

The tricky part is making sure that the content is as evergreen as possible. We don't want to make a course where the content becomes irrelevant or even worse, actively wrong, just 1 year later. Our goal is to finish the more evergreen courses (e.g. effective 1 on 1 meetings) before tackling these.

  Thank you for letting me know it’s part of the bigger picture.
