Hello everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹,

My name is Vishal Sharma, and today Iโ€™m officially starting a new chapter of my life and career.

For the last few years, Iโ€™ve been working in the corporate world, but deep down I always wanted to learn full-stack development and build real-world applications from scratch. So, I finally decidedโ€”itโ€™s time to switch my domain and follow my passion.

This blog is going to be my daily dev journal on Hashnode, where Iโ€™ll document what I learn step by step. My goal is to stay consistent, share knowledge with others, and build a streak of growth ๐Ÿš€.

๐Ÿ“š What Iโ€™m Going to Learn
Iโ€™ve created a learning roadmap for myself, covering everything from the basics of the internet to modern development frameworks and even AI applications. Hereโ€™s a quick look:

๐ŸŒ Fundamentals
How the Internet Works

Client-Server Architecture

Internet Protocols (IP, DNS, etc.)

Understanding HTTP & HTTPS

๐ŸŽจ Frontend Development
HTML (complete)

CSS (basic โ†’ advanced, responsive design, SASS)

JavaScript (ES6+ features, loops, functions โ†’ OOP, async, error handling)

DOM Manipulation & Event Handling

React (Basics, Hooks, Navigation, Redux, Form Controls, Optimization, SEO, Deployment)

Three.js & React Three Fiber (3D on the web)

โš™๏ธ Backend Development
Node.js & Express.js (beginner โ†’ advanced)

Databases with MongoDB

๐ŸŽฏ Why Iโ€™m Sharing This
I believe that learning in public is the best way to stay consistent. Writing blogs daily will:

Keep me accountable ๐Ÿ“

Help others who are on the same journey

Build a streak (๐Ÿ”ฅ) and track my progress

Create a community of learners

๐Ÿ“Œ What You Can Expect
Daily blogs about what I learned today

Clear explanations of concepts in simple words

Code snippets & practical examples

Reflections on challenges and mistakes (because thatโ€™s where learning really happens)

๐ŸŒ Connect With Me
Iโ€™d love to connect with other developers, learners, and tech enthusiasts. You can follow my journey here:

๐Ÿ’ก Final Note
This is just the beginning. My vision is not only to learn full-stack development but also to create meaningful projects, share my learnings, and help others grow.

If youโ€™re also on this journeyโ€”or planning to startโ€”letโ€™s learn together!

Stay tuned for Day 1 of my dev journal tomorrow ๐Ÿš€
