Which development path to choose?

Question

IT education

Hello, I learned html, css and js. I want to be able to create full-fledged sites, should I immediately switch to learning php?
Or is it better to master NodeJs + DB and start learning sass,react,webpack, etc., and after consolidating this knowledge, move on to PHP and CMS?
I'm afraid to get confused if, in addition to js, ​​php is added with its own frameworks, maybe it's better not to jump from one to another, but to focus on js? Tell me please.

Answer 1

To get started, you need to choose one.
Knowing a little bit in all areas is undoubtedly useful for self-development, but at the initial stages it is a direct path to cheap freelancing and a "turnkey website for 5-10-20 tr."
If you want to work as a layout designer, learn html/css/less, etc.;
If you want to be a frontend in the future - learn some trendy js framework to your liking (react / angular / vue);
If you want to be back in fashion projects - learn something from the PHP / Python / Go list (but one thing) + work with the base;
If you want to be back in the enterprise - learn Java + again work with the base;
If you want to get into mobile development - learn swift for ios or kotlin for android (but again, one thing);
Open HH, read vacancies for beginners, read vacancies for experienced ones, make yourself a roadmap of who you want to be in half a year, in a year, in 3.
Any irrelevant experience will be useful only when applying for a job in a small company where you will do the first, second, third , and in parallel administer 1s and change cartridges in the printer.
In any large IT companies, there is a rigid specialization.

Answer 2

Is it worth jumping straight into learning php?

Yes.

if, in addition to js, ​​php is added with its own frameworks,

no frameworks until you learn natively!

Or is it better to master NodeJs + DB and start learning sass,react,webpack, etc., and after consolidating this knowledge, move on to PHP and CMS?

and here in general "not a single" framework ... :))

Answer 3

If you want to be a frontend developer then focus on js. In the near future, PHP will die, Python will squeeze it out. In any case, it is better to decide what you like more: front or back.
I advise you to choose react and move in this direction.

Answer 4

The problem of such a choice is most often that there is no vector for the application of knowledge.
It is worth looking for an opportunity not just to toil with a pet project, but to do something necessary.
And even better - what you can earn.
And already starting from the task - to determine what to study.
At the zero level (and it is precisely the zero level that is voiced), it is practically unimportant what exactly will be studied, as long as it is not a frankly narrow niche. It is important to gain experience, and changing the stack, having an idea of ​​\u200b\u200btheir field of activity, is not at all as difficult as really seriously understanding at least something.
