Learn DevOps in this order: Linux, Git, Docker, a real deployment, environment variables and secrets, then continuous integration. Kubernetes comes last, and only if you want the DevOps job title rather than the ability to ship your own work. Before you start, spend ten minutes with the free roadmap at roadmap.sh/devops so you can see how those pieces depend on each other. Every stage below has a good free resource and a good paid one: the free route costs you time and assembly, the paid route costs money and buys both back.

Pick fullstack if you're a career changer who needs the widest set of doors. Pick frontend if you need visible wins fast to stay motivated. Pick backend if you can already build small things and want durable pay. Pick AI engineering only once you can already ship software on your own.

For a beginner starting from zero this summer, that means HTML and CSS, then JavaScript, then a little React, in that order, with a real calendar attached. This plan runs from Monday, June 29 to Sunday, August 30, 2026, and the goal is to leave you project-capable, not job-ready: able to build and ship a small app and explain how it works.
