Can someone please break down the comprehensive things I would need to learn to be able to start building things in hardware? Total newb here. I would love to be able to self teach myself.

I am looking for something that's the equivalent to what would be the following in terms for programming:

Front End - HTML/CSS/Javascript + jQuery

Backend - Python + Django

Database - Postgres

Other - CLI

With the above list, and work and dedication, someone can go from nothing to semi-decent beginner and prototype something in 6 months to a year (or sooner) for the web.

Can someone give me the equivalent for someone who wants to be a self-taught hardware hacker. I get the whole learn by doing and I plan to do that. I am looking into things like Arduino (or plan to), etc... But it doesn't seem like anyone has a comprehensive list of things to learn (like the above) or an order in which you need to learn them. I've seen recommendations for one off subjects or a link to an MIT course or something, but I don't think thats enough (albeit its a good start). What I'm pretty much begging for is a comp list like the above for hardware. I should also note I want to learn to be competent enough to do most things in hardware, not just projects with arduinos but I get thats a starting point.

So far I got:

Need to learn how to solder properly... That's it. Is there even an equivalent of subjects, order, etc...

It would be really nice to have a list of things if possible. I know nothing on the hardware side. Thanks so much.
