Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one individual can embrace it. — Akan Proverb

Hey there creative! This roadmap is for philosophers, artists, writers, designers, storytellers, product mgrs, engineers and makers who are curious about transitioning into the tech space, without needing to become a full-stack developer.

Roadmap — A step-by-step guide from creative to tech
Timeline — A 12-week progression plan with projects
