Hi, I have searched by google about how become a Full Stack and the roadmap was so complicated, but when i say in Free Code Camp exist a forum and there someone questioned how can we become a Full Stack developer . then the staff answered some topics that needed by learning Full Stack . but it seems a bit different from other road map then is that enough or need something if no please name some other courses that they was free because i live in Iran and i don`t have any access to credit card thanks for helping . Full context for conversation: > [@What courses should I take for being a full stack dev? or being a front end dev?](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/what-courses-should-i-take-for-being-a-full-stack-dev-or-being-a-front-end-dev/660092/3): > > I’ll look into it for sure. Thanks for the insight and advice! Here was a response by Lary back in 2024 [![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/user_avatar/forum.freecodecamp.org/larymak/96/347186_2.png)](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/u/larymak) For aspiring Full Stack Developer or Front End Developers, freeCodeCamp offers a comprehensive curriculum and resources that can greatly benefit your learning journey. Here are some courses and resources you might find helpful: - Begin with the **Responsive Web Design Certification** this will give you an understanding of HTML and CSS - Next dive into **JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Certification** to gain a clear understanding on the concepts of JS. - You can the proceed to learning about the **Front End Libraries Certification** which focuses on front end libraries/frameworks. - Then proceed to do the certification on **Data Visualization** then **Back End Development and APIs** During this entire learning journey remember to do practice by building projects. ---

HI @pythongah ! Welcome to the forum! I edited your post to include the full context of the post you were referencing and lary’s reply so we can better understand what you were referring to. > [@pythongah](#): > > but it seems a bit different from other road map > then is that enough or need something if no please name some other courses that they was free because i live in Iran and i don`t have any access to credit card thanks for helping . that reply you mentioned was made before the release of the full stack cert. Plus it mentions now archived courses. I would suggest starting here > **[freeCodeCamp.org](https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/full-stack-developer)** > > Learn to Code — For Free But as to your question, is doing just the courses enough? No. That applies to any course whether it is cs50, odin project, scrimba, etc. The freeCodeCamp curriculum is meant to give you a solid starting foundation but from there you will need to build projects outside of that, network and prepare for the competitive job landscape. The job landscape has changed a lot in the past few years. It is more competitive which means that it is not enough to just learn the fundamentals and apply. When the market was super hot back in 2020 and 2021, it was easier to get jobs. But that is no longer the case anymore. it will take longer. I highly suggest getting aquatinted with Danny Thompson’s and Leon Noel’s resources like their podcast because they help new developers get into tech and provide realistic advice on what to expect. > **[The Truth About Breaking Into Tech (They’re Not Telling You This)](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-about-breaking-into-tech-theyre-not-telling/id1778885184?i=1000706794195)** > > Podcast Episode · The Programming Podcast · 05/08/2025 · 1h 14m If you are in it for the long haul and invest the time to learn not only the programming aspect but the job aspect as well, then you will make it even in this competitive landscape. Hope that helps ---
