Which one is more logical?
Hello Dev.to Community!
My name is András-Pál Csokán, a wannabe web developer. I have been taking two courses since March, but it occured to me many times, whether becoming a full-stack developer is the right choice to make, if someone wants to get into the field in the forseeable future.
I am asking your opinion, if it makes more sense to learn and be-job-ready-enough with only one or two specific frameworks(ex. Angular, Vue, React, Next), rather then sitting for like 2 years to gain enough experience as a full-stack developer?
Looking forward to your answers,
Cheers, András.
Hi!
First thing is, don't believe people claiming that knowing a framework (any framework) is a substitute for knowing language. It's not. If you know JavaScript (or TypeScript) well, making a jump between React and Vue will be only a couple of days of training. You will only have to adapt to "how React handles it" or "how Vue handles it", or "how X handles it".
That being said, for a junior role, I would get proficient with just one framework. Try and see, which fits you best, make some projects in it, create a GitHub and start applying :) But be sure that interviewers will check your JS knowledge prior to checking how well you know the framework.
