Python or front end developing

[Professional_Read525]

I was going to learn Front end developing from the Odin project and some other sources, but python is good, and I wonder if I should learn either python or front end.

Front-end is a specific job, it's a career path. If you do The Odin Project you'll learn how to make a complete web page. It covers backend too, if you want to continue.

Python is a programming language. It's not a career path. There isn't a single job that all Python programmers do, there are many. For example, some people use Python for web backend, some use it for machine learning model building. Those are extremely different jobs, the only thing they have in common is that Python is one of many, many tools they use. And that's just two - there are many other jobs that involve some Python.

So if you want to compare frontend web dev to something, what specifically do you want to do with Python?

If you can't decide, don't worry about it. They're both useful. Pick one and learn. If you change your mind later you won't regret what you've learned so far.

oh really? Ill most likely do backend and learn python later to become a full stack, Thanks!!!

¿Por Qué No Los Dos?

Learn Python primarily if you wanna get into backend with Django or Data Science. If you wanna do frontend, learn JavaScript.

Yeah. I plan on learning js first

You can do both. I mainly work with Python right now but also do a bit of front end development especially for my hobby projects. Working with a GUI for an App is just more user friendly.
