A Type of Direction

I have been learning a lot of new stuff and I found a periodic table with all the necessary things that most software developers need to learn. This periodic table was the most useful thing that could have found because it gave me some sort of direction to help me along the way to becoming a developer. For those people who like lists, here is the periodic table in a list form. Its going to be a long journey, but I think I can tackle the basics on my own.
