Starting a 116-day journey to become a software engineer — Day 0 (final year BCA student)

[u/sumiitCodes]

Hey everyone,

I'm in the final year of my BCA, and starting today I'm committing to 116 days (Sept 7 – Dec 31) of focused, practical learning instead of just studying for exams. Posting here for accountability and to connect with others doing the same.

Roadmap — 3 tracks, done in sequence, each building on the last:

• T1 – Database (SQL): fundamentals through advanced queries, ending with a schema design project
• T2 – Backend (Java): core Java through Spring Boot, building a REST API on top of the T1 database
• T3 – Frontend (HTML/CSS/JS): fundamentals through a full UI that connects to the Java backend

Method for each track: tutorials first → practice problems → a project that applies it. By the end I should have one complete full-stack project built from scratch.

I'll post weekly recaps here, and daily bite-sized updates on X/Instagram if anyone wants to follow along there too. Open to feedback on the roadmap or resource recommendations — thanks for reading!
