Feature Updates
Thanks to word of mouth from Reddit and LinkedIn, the Security Certification Roadmap has become more popular than I expected. Because of this increased traffic, I figured it would be important to make the page presentable. The following “features” are now working:
- Render roadmap using HTML5/CSS3 (no Javascript)
- Make roadmap compatible in Chrome and Firefox
- Make roadmap vector scaleable for large screens
- Make roadmap work on mobile devices
- Make roadmap text searchable
- Make certification blocks link to the vendor’s cert page
- Add hover info for full name, price, and exam type
- Add description for each certification category
Future Plans
The following features are in the works for this year:
- Microsoft Edge support
- Links to more info on all 39 certificate issuing vendors represented in the roadmap
- Change scaling to look better at resolutions under 1920×1080 (1080i)
- Add a dark mode
The follow features are planned for the future when I learn how to implement them:
- Javascript version of the roadmap
- Add form options to re-order chart based on input such as:
- Highlight certifications from a specific vendor
- Highlight certifications that are user goals
- Highlight recommended certifications based on current achievements such as education, certifications, and experience
- Reorder roadmap based on career paths
- Reorder roadmap to exclude certifications the user has no interest in
- Reintroduce visual rows to indicate Beginner, Associate, Journeyman, or Expert levels
- Add certification planning tools such as saving customized charts, tracking milestones, linking to study resources, and comparing to template charts or other customized charts.
Request for Feedback
This roadmap has been 7 years in the making and community input has been the major driving force. In that spirit I want to encourage feedback for any aspect of the chart form formatting to ranking. Please use the form below if you want to contribute directly!
