Mobile App Developer Roadmap

  1. 1

    Programming Foundations

    Understand how programs process data, make decisions, repeat work, organize logic, and report errors, then build and debug a command-line application.

  2. 2

    Git and GitHub

    Track changes, create focused commits, work safely with branches, collaborate through pull requests, and recover from routine Git mistakes.

  3. 3

    HTTP and APIs

    Trace HTTP requests and responses, use common methods and status codes, work with JSON APIs, handle authentication, and diagnose communication failures.

  4. 4

    Software Testing Fundamentals

    Design useful tests, separate unit and integration concerns, test error behavior, recognize unreliable tests, and create a balanced test strategy.

  5. 5

    Secure Coding Fundamentals

    Identify trust boundaries, validate untrusted input, protect credentials, apply authentication and authorization safely, and reduce common risks.
