After 20 years experience in the field, I created a list of resources that kept growing and growing since its inception. You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MVthnQ5qfnEVmwIdfcocw3X0PhkiUQSf1IXRr6-c9bc/edit?usp=sharing I also found another, probably better organized list of resources here: https://hawkticehurst.com/mega-full-stack-resource-guide/ Enjoy!

I'm doing TOP and it teaches you MERN stack. I'm on JS foundations rn, but i took 200 hours of Python before TOP on FCC so its a bit easier to grasp JS. Python -> DSA -> Leetcode & The Odin Project -> System Design was the recommendation from a friend of mine who's a FAANG SWE. Python and DSA for interviewing, leetcode for interviewing and problem solving skills, the odin project for mern full stack in web dev, system design for tier 1 tech interviews. Identify what you want to do and pick one of paths and stick to it, thats the hardest and most important thing you can do. I doubted the path im on 3 times in the last 2 weeks, dont let the fears win. All these courses teach something, im not familiar with your course but im sure if its recommended then it teaches things well and covers similar topics. You'll not waste time by going through any course/studying on your own. Worst result may be that you didn't take the optimal path and spent 20% more time getting the necessary knowledge. But thats it. Just set a plan and study. More on reddit.com

The odin project is literally what you are asking, you have a structure, you follow it, then you build projects on your own. If you are looking for a mentor to answer your questions, you can use the odin discord group. There are also udemy courses and youtube videos from freecodecamp. There is also KodeKloud for DevOps if you're looking into other DevOps tooling. Outside of that, your other options are part time bootcamp, but I think it is a waste of money. More on reddit.com

Google the odin project. It's free and will actually teach you more than what 90 percent of the paid course will. More on reddit.com
