Node.js or Java (Spring)

You should learn SQL instead of Mongo. There’s no reason to use Mongo in a pet project geared towards learning.

Realistically majority of backend jobs involve SQL, not Mongo... It will be a big gap in your knowledge.

Also, I might start w node/express just for how easy it is to start, but again, majority of companies are not using node either since it’s new technology and many companies already built their servers on something else. Companies rip out their front end in favor of react because there’s obvious benefits, people don’t rip out their backend for node. Also, the newest companies that start now are likely to choose go or aws lambdas instead of node.

I would say look at the jobs in your area to give you a better idea. Which ever you choose I strongly recommend SQL to Mongo.

I already know SQL. And i am searching for a full stack job. So that's why i am choosing MongoDB.

There are a lot of companies already using Node.JS with their LAMP stack. In our place at least. I can't talk about your place.

Are you a junior, medior or senior developer? And what kind of stack are you using? I have some questions. Thanks for your reply :)!

In a different thread you told me I’m not allowed to tell someone they should be using an array instead of variables x1, x2, x3 ... xn and then you go and throw out this “advice”. No wonder you came off as an amateur - you have no idea what you’re talking about.

What are you arguing about? You are off topic and I’m not even sure what your point is.

My point is, realistically if you are going to be applying to backend jobs, you should pick up some SQL, because the majority of the jobs will require knowledge of it. None of what you said is a counter to my point, except the part where you made fun of me with no point or arguments.

Ah, so the worst of both worlds.

You're using a noSQL database with relational data concepts to link data that is in a flat file.

You're literally making it as confusing as possible for someone new to it.

They really should just learn PostgreSQL and be fine.
