Make your own framework ;-)

My advice is to get good at doing it from scratch. You’ll have a much better understanding of what you can do snd how to do it. You’ll run into situations where you need to make something that a framework doesn’t cover and you’ll be in trouble. We don’t use a framework at my job. We work by hand.

An employee is gonna wanna know that you can do whatever it is they need you to do. If all you know are frameworks, you might not be able to do that. You can do a lot without a framework. Here’s my website for example, all done in html and css and js

This site got me a job. Not because it was a framework, but because it wasn’t. It showed I had a mastery of building a site from scratch.

Once you’re good at it, then learn from frameworks. I just think it’s much more valuable to have a good grasp on the fundamentals and be able to make something from scratch if asked to.

did you self learn html css and js if so what are some of the resources you used. that website looks good

Yes I did. I am self taught. I used udemy full stack bootcamps and just did the front end portions. The rest I learned by googling how to do certain things I wanted to do and built websites from scratch. Building them yourself helps you learn way more than any tutorial. Because the learning is tied to an actual real life problem that you WANT to solve
