From Junior to Senior
My open learning path in backend development with Python. Everything is here: from basic syntax to production-ready microservices. Even early code is preserved to showcase real progress.
from pathlib import Path
class BackendJourney:
def __init__(self):
self.stages = {
0: "Preparation",
1: "Python Basics",
2: "Web Development",
3: "Databases",
4: "Auth & Security",
5: "Testing",
6: "Async & Background",
7: "DevOps & Deployment",
8: "Advanced & Senior"
}
def get_progress(self):
return {"completed": [0], "in_progress": []}
journey = BackendJourney()
print(f"Current stage: {journey.stages[0]}")Documents progress from zero to senior level with real code examples at each stage.
Each stage includes code, detailed README, and personal notes for context.
Use as a template for your own learning journey or as a reference guide.
Sample projects, tests, Docker configs, CI/CD pipelines - all in one place.
A structured 9-stage path from beginner to senior backend developer
Lightweight, for basic understanding
Modern, asynchronous, for API
Full-featured, for monoliths
Click on any stage to expand and see detailed content, tools, and practice exercises.
Practical applications to build at each stage
Basic Flask application with routes, forms, and templates to understand web fundamentals.
CRUD API with validation, authentication, and Swagger/ReDoc documentation.
Full web application with Django admin, user authentication, and payment integration.
2-3 services communicating via Kafka with Redis caching and PostgreSQL databases.
