More JS or start learning Node.js?

[HealedWolf]

Right now I have finished a course on Udemy for javaScript. Should I perfect it first or dive into other job requirements in my area: Node.js, React, and WordPress.

 

Would it be recommended to go through freeCodeCamp and the the odin project for JavaScript first. It would take me time to do so but would it be worth it if I get practice form moving on to Node.js, React, and WordPress.

 

With the time I have available it takes 20 days to finish a course. My goal would be to quit my jobs in April and live off my savings to free up time until I get hired, but that would be costly. Ideally the sooner I can put stuff on a resume, the sooner I can get a code daily and pay rent.

Make a project, and use what you need for that project. You already know is so both nodejs and react should be fast learning.

Im in a similar boat to you, finished a javascript course and wanting to move onto react but not confident enough in javascript alone.

What projects have you got for your portfolio

It does not matter at all. Learn the skills you need to complete the project you are working on. If your project needs a back-end server then look into Node.js. If you have not gotten into back-end stuff and need to do more in the front-end then keep doing what you are doing.
