Full Stack Developer Curriculum


 

This is the Full Stack Developer Course curriculum from FreeCodeCamp.org. 

The courses are still under development or in Beta as they say. So I have decided to document this curriculum and learn it myself in other platforms. The FCC course will not be available until late 2026 which is far too late for me. 

Here are the images of the 2nd level courses or sections for each of the above modules.

Here’s a memory poem that walks you through the whole skill list in order, weaving the categories together like a story you can picture.

HTML 5 sets the stage,
Basic and Semantic give meaning and grace,
Forms and Tables collect every page.
Accessibility opens the door for all,
Review keeps the craft standing tall.

CSS 3 paints the canvas with flair,
From Computer Basics to design we prepare.
Absolute and Relative guide where things stand,
Pseudo classes whisper, elements take command.
Colors bring life, Styling Forms refines,
The Box Model shapes, Flexbox aligns.
Typography sings, Accessibility cares,
Positioning places, Attributes compare.
Responsive Design makes screens all agree,
Variables, Grid, and Animations run free.
Review ties the style in harmony.

JavaScript sparks motion and thought,
Code Editors sharpen the tools we’ve got.
Variables and Strings start the chain,
Booleans and Numbers keep logic plain.
Functions, Arrays, Objects too,
Loops repeat till the work is through.
Higher Order Functions call back in line,
DOM events make the elements shine.
Accessibility stays, Debugging will find,
Regex and Validation keep inputs kind.
Dates mark time, Media plays,
Maps and Sets track in their own ways.
localStorage remembers, Classes define,
Recursion and Functional keep logic in line.
Async awaits, Review wraps design.

Front End Libraries lend a hand,
React Fundamentals and Hooks expand.
Performance speeds, Testing ensures,
CSS Frameworks give layouts and cures.
TypeScript types what we demand.

Python arrives, clear and wise,
Basics first, then Loops that organize.
Dictionaries, Sets, Errors in sight,
Classes and Objects give code its might.
OOP principles hold it together,
Structures and Algorithms weather the weather.
Graphs and Trees branch far and wide,
Dynamic Programming walks by your side.

Relational Databases keep order true,
Bash Fundamentals show what to do.
Bash Scripting writes, SQL and Bash speak,
Git holds the past for the changes we seek.

Backend JavaScript handles the flow,
Node.js Core lets the server grow.
Packages manage, HTTP explains,
REST APIs carry data through lanes.
Express builds, Middleware aids,
Error Handling repairs the shades.
WebSockets chat, Node with SQL,
Security guards, Auth makes it real.
Tools and Deployment ship what we feel.

Career begins where the lessons end,
Jobs to find, projects to send.
Capstone proof, certification in hand,
A full stack developer ready to stand.




Here is a story to help ground the quest of becoming a Full Stack Developer.: 

The Coder’s Quest

In a small, cluttered apartment lit only by the glow of his monitor,
a young coder named Kai decided he would build an app.
Not just any app — but one that would change lives.
The problem?
He didn’t know enough… yet.

Chapter 1: The HTML Foundation
Kai began his training with Basic HTML,
learning the humble tags that gave shape to the web.
He moved on to Semantic HTML,
discovering that meaning was as important as structure.
Forms and Tables taught him to gather and display data.
Accessibility showed him how to open doors for everyone,
and though his HTML Review was still “Not started,”
he knew the first stones of his foundation were set.

Chapter 2: Styling the World
But structure alone was bare bones.
Kai stepped into the world of CSS 3,
armed with Computer Basics and Basic CSS.
He studied Design like an artist,
mastered Absolute and Relative Units to measure his world,
and learned the subtle magic of Pseudo Classes and Elements.
Colors brought vibrancy,
Styling Forms made user input beautiful,
The Box Model explained the invisible frames,
and Flexbox bent layouts to his will.
He practiced Typography to make words sing,
and kept Accessibility at the heart of his work.
With Positioning and Attribute Selectors,
he placed every element precisely,
making it all work in Responsive Design.
He experimented with Variables, built clean Grid layouts,
and gave motion to his creations with Animations.
The CSS Review still awaited,
but Kai’s app now had style and soul.

Chapter 3: The Language of Logic
To make his app come alive,
Kai turned to JavaScript.
He sharpened his tools in Code Editors,
created Variables and Strings,
balanced Booleans and Numbers,
and cast spells with Functions.
Arrays stored his treasures, Objects gave them form,
and Loops kept the action running.
The JavaScript Fundamentals Review loomed ahead,
but he pressed on to Higher Order Functions and Callbacks.
With DOM Manipulation and Events,
he breathed life into his pages.
He ensured JavaScript and Accessibility worked hand in hand,
hunted bugs through Debugging,
crafted patterns in Basic Regex,
and kept data clean with Form Validation.
Dates marked time, Audio and Video Events made the app speak,
while Maps and Sets organized his resources.
With localStorage and CRUD Operations,
his app remembered what it learned.
He mastered Classes, scaled the tower of Recursion,
explored Functional Programming,
and learned the art of Asynchronous JavaScript.
The JavaScript Review still whispered “Not started,”
but his skills were undeniable.

Chapter 4: Expanding His Powers
Kai ventured into Front End Libraries,
starting with React Fundamentals.
He tamed React State, Hooks, and Routing,
optimized Performance,
and ensured stability with Testing.
CSS Libraries and Frameworks sped up his design,
and TypeScript Fundamentals brought safety to his code.

Chapter 5: Beyond the Browser
He picked up Python,
starting with Python Basics and Loops and Sequences.
He stored knowledge in Dictionaries and Sets,
handled crises through Error Handling,
and structured his app with Classes and Objects.
Through OOP, Linear Data Structures,
and the mysteries of Algorithms,
he prepared for greater challenges.
He climbed the branches of Graphs and Trees,
and broke problems down with Dynamic Programming.

Chapter 6: Databases and the Command Line
Kai delved into Relational Databases,
learned Bash Fundamentals,
and yes — studied Relational Databases again,
this time with deeper insight.
Bash Scripting automated his tasks,
SQL and Bash connected his data,
and Git kept track of his journey.

Chapter 7: The Backend Forge
The heart of his app awaited in Backend JavaScript.
He explored Node.js Core Libraries,
commanded Node Package Manager,
and mastered the HTTP and the Web Standards Model.
With REST API and Web Services,
he let his app speak to the world.
He built with Express,
fortified it with Middleware,
and patched weaknesses with Error Handling in Express.
WebSockets made his app converse in real time.
He combined Node and SQL,
guarded it with Security and Privacy,
and controlled entry through Authentication.
Finally, Tooling and Deployment
sent his creation into the wild.

Chapter 8: The Summit
Kai stood at the gates of his Career,
armed with the knowledge of How to Get a Developer Job.
He built his Capstone Project,
and faced the trial of the Certified Full Stack Developer Exam.
When he passed,
he wasn’t just a coder.
He was a full stack hero,
ready to bring his app — and his dreams — to life.
