A technology roadmap is a flexible planning technique to support strategic and long-range planning, by matching short-term and long-term goals with specific technology solutions. Wikipedia

You can consider a roadmap as a set of resources organised in a chronological way to help you follow along and learn something new. It is mostly used in computer science to help people draft their online learning journey to learn new technology or a technical topic.

It can be a way to introduce you to neuroscience, data science or a complete plan to learn a subject. You can find multiple contents about roadmaps and paths on the internet. just try “x roadmap” on youtube (where x is the subject you are trying to learn) and you will find a lot of people telling you how to learn and the steps to follow to become an “expert”. This is something extremely interesting, considering the fact that 95% of beginners trying to learn technology on their own face the problem of not knowing where to start, what to do or learn after. We can consider it as the go-to solution for autodidacts and even people trying to evaluate a technology or add some new skills to their assets. Even if you are doing a boot camp, you can consider a learning roadmap to help you follow along, discover what is not included in your program, and what the need for some tools compares to others. Or just to keep learning after your course.

You can find roadmap videos reaching millions of views but the most complicated with that as we have seen with GitHub and roadmap.sh is the content to follow along.
