4-pillar developer learning path

THE 4-PILLAR DEVELOPER LEARNING PATH

Find the path for your team's role

Each role needs a different mix of skills. See which courses fit, then plan training for the people who do the work.

A front-end developer, a QA engineer and a DevOps lead can all work on the same app and still need different skills. Our developer courses are organized into four stages: Build, Test, Secure, and Operate & Scale.

 

Below, we’ve matched them to the roles on your team so you can see where each person fits and what to train first.

​

The 4 Stages:

​

  • Build: Write clean, maintainable code in modern frameworks.

  • Test: Catch bugs with automated tests before users do.

  • Secure: Build security into the code from day one.

  • Operate & Scale: Keep your app fast, stable and visible in production.

BUILD

TEST

SECURE

OPERATE & SCALE

BUILD → TEST

Front-end / Angular Developer

THE CHALLENGE

The app grows, the code gets harder to change, and every feature takes longer than the last.

Angular Expert

​IV-DC-008

What your team gains: Cleaner component-based apps, predictable state, and the habit of testing what they build.

TEST → SECURE

QA / Test Automation Engineer

THE CHALLENGE

Manual testing can’t keep up with release speed, and you need tests you can trust every time.

What your team gains: Cleaner component-based apps, predictable state, and the habit of testing what they build.

BUILD → SECURE → OPERATE & SCALE

Full Stack .NET Developer

THE CHALLENGE

You own features from screen to server, so a gap anywhere ends up in production.

Angular Expert

IV-DC-008

What your team gains: Build a feature, protect it, and see how it behaves once real users are on it.

OPERATE & SCALE → SECURE

DevOps / Platform Engineer / SRE

THE CHALLENGE

Something is slow or failing in production and you can’t see where.

What your team gains: Performance tuning, monitoring and visibility into microservices, plus a security mindset for what you run.

ALL 4 STAGES

Tech Lead / Architect

THE CHALLENGE

You need the whole team working to the same standards, from how code is written to how it’s tested, secured and monitored.

Angular Expert

IV-DC-008

What your team gains: A shared language and shared standards from first commit to production. Start with your biggest gap, then work through the rest.
