Help with training plan (lemmy.world)

Hello self hosters, I was wondering if you could fact check my training plan?

I work in Tech but haven't done any hands on programming work since school (visual basic). This was very basic, I built a calculator program.

I've got an idea for an app and think this is a good learning opportunity.

My goals are:

  1. Learn programming skills that I can use for personal projects in the future i.e. making apps, using programs fron github, hosting containers to run Plex etc.

  2. Learn skills that can help in my current job (I work with Engineers but don't do any actual coding).

I am planning to learn the following, more or less, in order:

  • Docker (in the past I've had a lot of trouble trying to code in Virtual Box).
  • Linux command line
  • JavaScript boot camp. Good for coding a single app that will work across, browser IOS and Android.

*Typescript - extension of JS.

*SQL - for apps that require a query to a database

*node.js - for REST APIs and cloud server infrastructure

I may also learn these languages/ methods as I need them:

*Git *Terraform

I appreciate this will be a lot of work and take a long time to master, however I think it is worth the investment from a hobby and professional perspective.

Any recommendations or comments on the above?

Any pointers where I've gone wrong or tips/ideas are greatly appreciated!
