Yes. For now, we're still focused on having the absolute best curriculum and platform for budding backend developers. And we're prioritizing making it available in more languages, but we plan to then branch out to other career goals. Likely next candidates include:
- Data Engineering / AI Stuff
- DevOps / Infrastructure
- Embedded
- Game Dev
- Cyber Security
- Front End (lol jk)
You can read about our approach to learning here.
Yes you should get started - this program will always be improving and never be "complete". This curriculum will never be "complete" in the same sense the YouTube will never be "complete" - there is new content all the time. We care deeply about the quality of this program and will always be improving and adding to it.
We love feedback on how we can improve the curriculum! The recommended way to help is to submit issues here on GitHub. If you just want to talk about some ideas, contact us directly using one of the methods below.
If you would like to discuss the project feel free to contact us at Boot.dev. We're most responsive on Discord, but you can also find us on Twitter.
