Since you have limited time due to your job and commute, you can dedicate around 1-2
hours per day on weekdays and more on Sundays. Based on that, here’s an estimated

4/5
timeline:

Beginner to Intermediate (3-4 months)


Month 1: Node.js basics, core modules, async programming, basic server with HTTP.

Month 2: Express.js, REST API development, authentication, databases (MongoDB or


SQL).

Month 3: WebSockets, real-time apps, testing, deployment.

Month 4: Advanced topics like microservices, GraphQL, and message queues.

Project Phase (2-3 months)


Month 5-6: Build 2-3 solid projects (one basic, one intermediate, one advanced).

Month 7: Apply best practices, optimize code, and prepare for job interviews if needed.

Total Time: 6-7 months (if you’re consistent).


If you can dedicate extra time on Sundays, you might finish sooner.
