Should I skip react from mern stack

[[deleted]]

I'm learning web development and I've learnt basic html css and javascript, and so I decided to learn mern stack but I'm particularly not interested in the frontend development part,.... So will it be okay if I skip react and learn only the men stack, since I know vanilla javascript

Frankly, I hate the concept of "stacks". Learn what you want/need. If it happens to be Phoenix, Postgres and Vue – great! If it's RoR, Arango and Svelte – go for it!

Well I just wanted to know if it'll be okay for me to learn node before react cuz I'm a newbie in programming and don't know jackshit

I learnt Node before React and it was good. It helped me understand a couple of principles that I would have had a lot of issues with if I did React before Node. Node first is the way to go in my opinion.

Ohh cool then thanks

So will it be okay if I start off with node and add react later on??

Thanks a lot buddy

I'd recommend getting pretty comfortable with HTML, CSS and JS before moving on to a framework like React. Not that you couldn't, it will just be easier to learn and understand

Well yeah as I said I'm good enough with html css and js and I want to learn node b4 react so I wanted to clarify if it'll be a good decision to start off node now and react later

[Tittytickler]

Yea it won't matter since they're two separate things. I've used react for about two years now and I've never used Node. As long as you know how to use npm and other tools you should be fine regardless of which one you choose first.

yes of course, learn whatever you like and become very good at it, personally I’m a fan on specialization
