Scrimba Roadmap 2026: What's Coming Next
Last updated:
Learn DevOps and Advanced TypeScript are the two confirmed courses still on Scrimba's 2026 roadmap. Next.js Section 3, Unit Testing, and Build AI Agents already shipped, and Advanced React quietly doubled from three modules to six. The platform is moving fast from a frontend school to a full-stack and AI one.

What is Scrimba shipping next?
Two courses are officially in production, per Scrimba's own roadmap page:
Learn DevOps. Not live yet. Scrimba has said it will cover CI/CD pipelines and Docker, likely with AWS or DigitalOcean basics. If you cannot wait, the Backend Developer Path already has a dedicated DevOps module: 4 hours and 42 lessons inside Tom Chant's 36.2-hour path.
Advanced TypeScript. Also not live. Expect generics and utility types (Pick, Omit, Partial) beyond what the Fullstack and Backend paths already teach.
Neither course exists in the catalog yet. Treat "coming soon" as Scrimba's own label, not a date: their release windows have historically run one to three months once a course enters production.
What has Scrimba already shipped in 2026?
If you have not checked the catalog in a while, here is what changed:
- Advanced React: grew from three modules to six, adding Persistence, Authentication, and TypeScript in React. Bob Ziroll's course went from about 13 hours to 18.8 across 240 lessons, the biggest single content addition on the platform this year.
- Learn Next.js: Section 3, "Making Data Flow," shipped at 3.9 hours and 64 lessons, the largest of its three modules. The course now runs 8.5 hours and has you build PrintForge, a 3D-model catalog, first with static pages and then a SQLite database with search and pagination.
- Learn Python: rebuilt in August 2026 by Treasure Porth. The new version runs 4.1 hours across three modules and three projects, an expense-splitting app, a word-scramble game, and a karaoke queue manager. It is shorter than the course it replaced and stops before dictionaries, file handling, and classes.
- Learn Cybersecurity: Rachel Johnson and Jonathan Hill's 5-hour Pro course has you plant a SQL injection payload and watch the runner terminal print "Disaster dropping users table," then build Express rate limiters.
- Build AI Agents: Bob Ziroll's course on autonomous agents that take actions, use tools, and loop until a goal is done.
- Unit Testing: a focused course on Vitest/Jest-style patterns, written as you code.
- Intro to AI Engineering: Arsala Khan's 2.5-hour crash course on LLM-powered web apps, updated for 2026's models.
- The Backend Developer Path: Tom Chant's 36.2-hour path across 12 modules, Node, Express, SQL, TypeScript, security, and deployment.
- Learn Context Engineering: a 60-minute crash course on optimizing what you feed an LLM's context window.
- Intro to Model Context Protocol (MCP): Maham Codes' 37-minute course on connecting AI to your local files and data.
Is Scrimba becoming a full-stack and AI platform?
Yes. Three moves back it up.
Backend is no longer an afterthought: the Backend Developer Path, Learn Cybersecurity, and the upcoming Learn DevOps cover the entire stack, not just the browser. AI is not a novelty add-on either; Intro to AI Engineering, Learn Context Engineering, and Intro to MCP treat it as its own engineering discipline, with three separate short courses stacking depth rather than one overview. And the newer releases skew toward job-readiness: Unit Testing and the coming Advanced TypeScript are about writing production code, not just finishing a project.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. If you have an active Scrimba Pro subscription, all new Pro courses are included automatically. You don't need to pay for them separately.
Scrimba rarely gives hard release dates. 'Coming Soon' usually means within 1-3 months, but it can vary depending on production complexity.
There is no official Python Career Path on the roadmap yet, and Scrimba remains heavily focused on the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem. The one signal worth noting: in August 2026 Scrimba rebuilt its free Learn Python course from scratch, handing it to Treasure Porth (a Frontend and Fullstack path contributor) and restructuring it into modules with three projects. That is path-team treatment applied to a standalone course. It is also shorter than the version it replaced, so read it as maintenance rather than the start of a Python track.
