Becoming a full-stack developer is a journey that requires a broad understanding of both front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) development. Here's a detailed study roadmap that should help you become a full-stack developer specializing in Spring Boot (Java), Angular (TypeScript), and Ionic.
- Concepts: Algorithms, Data Structures, and basic problem-solving.
- Languages: Learn basics of Java and JavaScript & Typescript.
-
HTML: Understand all common HTML tags, form, and validations.
-
CSS: Styling, layout, box model, grid systems, flex, animations, and Responsive Web Design.
-
JavaScript (ES6): Understand the DOM, JSON, AJAX, Promises, async/await, and ES6 features like arrow functions, template literals, destructuring, and modules. ###3. Version Control System
-
Git:Basic commands, branches, and workflows.
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Classes, interfaces, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation. Functional Programming: Lambdas and Streams.
- Concurrency: Threads, synchronization, and locks.
- Collections: List, Map, Set, Queue, etc.
- Generics and Templates
- Error Handling: Exception types, try-catch blocks.

- Cloud: AWS/Azure/GCP - Basic understanding of cloud providers to host applications.
- Microservices: API Gateway, service discovery.
- Performance: Caching, Pagination, and Auditing.
- WebSocket: Real-time communication between client and server.
- Build small projects like a CRUD application, to-do list, or a blog.
- Build a larger, complex application integrating all the above technologies.
Finally, remember that the best way to learn programming is by doing. Theoretical knowledge is important, but make sure to apply what you learn by coding your own projects. This will not only solidify your understanding but also provide you with a portfolio to show potential employers.
