Software Developer's Roadmap to Excellence: Unlock the Strategies for Success
As developers, we are well aware of how often we have to upskill to stay relevant in the industry and not become
dinosaurs. In the 2020 StackOverflow survey, approx. 75% of the respondents stated that they learn a new technology at least every few months or once a
year.
This data substantiates how rapidly tech innovation is happening and how things are getting more intense with
time with the emergence of new frameworks and technologies every now and then.
How do we cope up with such continual changes in technology? How often do you experience FOMO when you hear your
peers discussing a shiny new tech? Do your eyes widen in disbelief when you read on that frequented coding
website of yours, "The framework XYZ (you invested a lot of time and effort learning) is now deprecated, and why you should use
this new framework instead?".
Is there a technology that I can learn or a domain that I can be in to stay future-proof? Is there a way to
thrive despite these rapid developments in tech?
In this course, I share with you the roadmap and techniques that I follow to keep my sanity in this
ever-changing world of software development and stay relevant at the same time without killing myself.
I share a perspective that enables me to develop an immunity against the temptation to learn these shiny new
libraries, frameworks, programming languages and domains as they pop up.
These never-ending debates and prevailing hogwash on the web, like "Java is dead. SQL is dead. Contributing to open source is the only and the best way to stand out as a
programmer. Everyone should have a loaded GitHub profile. What are you even doing if you don't have one?" does not affect my peace of mind.
This course will enlighten you on what companies look for in a dev resume. What makes them pick up that phone
and give you a call for the interview.
I also discuss the questions that I get asked the most: "Can a developer switch their domain after n years of experience? If yes, how? My job doesn't involve much
development work. It's mostly production support and plumbing APIs at best. What do I do?"
This crisp guide is helpful for experienced software developers as well as those freshly looking to plunge into
the software development domain. In this, you'll find actionable advice and critical points that will enable you
to make informed career decisions and accelerate your career at MACH speed with peace of mind, ignoring common
industry distractions. Furthermore, you'll be a part of a Discord community where you can discuss your career
concerns and get your questions answered. You will also be a part of time-to-time discussions on industry
trends, career growth strategies, and more.
Whatever I say comes from experience without one bit of fluff advice. I have a strong dislike for that. I've
been in the trenches and know what it takes to become the best in your game as a product developer.
Moreover, there is this one mistake every budding developer is making while applying for their jobs and
eventually getting the same results, which I am gonna discuss as well. The laser-guided aim of this course is to
help you succeed and go from the survival mindset of
'I hope I get a job. The market is way oversaturated already', to being inundated with growth
opportunities.
Start your journey today. Fork my approach and crush it in your development career, no matter your current skill
level. Thrive, not just survive, making the right moves in your development career.
I'll see you on the other side. Cheers!
Who am I? ¯_( ❛ ᴗ ❛ )_/¯
Hello there, I am Shivang. I have industry experience of more than ten

Why is this Course Text-based?
My courses are intentionally text-based. The text format of the course
enables you to learn faster than the videos. Learning through reading is
way faster than sitting through hours of videos. It is easy to take
notes—no pausing the videos to take notes or screenshots of diagrams.
You can always go back to specific topics immediately when you need
them.
Also, my courses are frequently updated. New information is continually
added. It is easy for me to update the text-based content as opposed to
re-recording a video every time a tiny update needs to be made. Imagine
that. It would be killing.
How Long Do I Have Access to the Course Content?
You will have lifetime access to the course content, allowing you to revisit it
anytime you need, at your own pace.
