Roadmap to becoming an ASP.NET Core developer in 2026
A visual roadmap for developers learning ASP.NET Core, structured as a PNG image with an accompanying README that links to documentation and paid courses. It covers the full stack from HTTP basics through microservices, testing, and observability. Aimed at developers who want a bird's-eye view of what to learn, not a tutorial series.
The breadth is genuinely useful — it doesn't just list the obvious (EF Core, Serilog) but includes things like architecture testing with ArchUnitNET, distributed locking, and pgvector-adjacent tooling that most lists miss. It's kept reasonably current: .NET 10, Minimal APIs, and Aspire all appear, and AutoMapper is now listed after manual mapping rather than as the default. The xmind source files are included, so you can fork and customize the diagram rather than being stuck with someone else's opinion baked into a PNG. Multi-language translations (Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Turkish, Uzbek) reflect genuine community investment.
The actual content is a PNG — if you want to know why Marten beats EF Core for certain use cases, or why you'd pick NServiceBus over MassTransit, this won't tell you. It's a checklist, not a guide. The Dometrain affiliate links scattered through the README are a conflict of interest that's never disclosed — some of those paid courses are the primary resource listed for a topic. Last pushed January 2026 but .NET 10 shipped in November 2025, so the .NET version bump may be the only thing that changed. There's also no opinionated path through the material — a junior dev landing here faces the same 200+ items as a senior architect and gets no guidance on sequencing.
