The Roadmap To Becoming a Node.js Developer.

Node.js has been one of the biggest game-changer since its release, bigger companies like Uber, Medium, PayPal & Walmart switched their tech stack to** Node.js.** You can make really powerful applications with Node.js such as real-time tracking apps, video and text chat engines, social media apps, etc. And learning Node.js is becoming one of the hottest skills for developers, the roadmap that I have prepared is based on how I learned it with my own experience and tips. Before deep-diving into this Node.js roadmap make sure that you have a _clear _&_ concise_ goal of what you want to build with Node.js otherwise you will give up in between the learning path just like I did. Keeping a goal will help you focus on learning the essential skills on the top, instead of figuring out whether you need to learn them or not.
