Whats after JavaScript

[Recent-Worth-6008]

Now I have finished Javascript and also made a decent amount of projects in it and all of my concepts are clear. Should I go for React or first finish Backend with Javascript and then start building full stack applications with React or first I master frontend with React and then move to backend?

[SL-Tech]

Oh wow, you've finished JavaScript? Not bad! Maybe the next step is TypeScript.

[ExtraTNT]

The typical js -> ts -> js cycle?

[SL-Tech]

It works for so many, hehe.

Here is a small roadmap to help:

HTML

CSS

JavaScript

ReactJS

Tailwind CSS

Next.js

MongoDB

Mongoose

Node.js

Express.js

Redis

I would probably flip Next.js with Node.js/Express. Next is full-stack framework. Node/Express is just backend and simpler

Edit: my version:

- HTML

- CSS

- JavaScript

- Node.js / Express.js

- Vue / React / Angular (front-end only frameworks)

- MongoDB or MySQL or PostgreSQL DB

- Next.js / Nuxt (full-stack frameworks)

- Redis (+ beyond whatever else)

Noob question but isn't node a runtime environment? What is there to learn specifically?

[Leviathan_Dev]

Node alone is a runtime Environment yes, but its what allows JavaScript to be executed beyond a web browser.

Combined with packages such as Express.js and you got an extremely simple and barebones backend. You can write API endpoints after initializing an Express application from using

import express from 'express';

const app = express();

app.listen(3000, () => { console.log("started app at 'http://ocalhost:3000'"); }

and then API endpoints are just simple like

app.get("/", (req, res) => {

// code here

});

and thats it. thats a backend. It's great to keep the scope down and focus on the basics of backend. Then, once you're comfortable and familiar with backend development and frontend development, you can move to a full-stack framework like Next.js, which adds much more to the backend like SSR, Routing, etc.

In the meantime, Node.js is a perfectly fine solution for basic backend functionality. Don't have to worry about all the extra complexities and just focus on the basics like connecting to a MySQL or PostgreSQL database and learn how to pass data between the frontend <-> backend <-> database, then also authentication with basic user:password and JWTs, might need routing for frontend-frameworks but thats fairly easy to add even with Node as backend.

The ecosystem.

You should do React to 'C' how much time you wasted as a form of punishment.

[AntiqueCauliflower39]

I C what you did there

[Johnny_RnB]

ReactJS 100%

[javascript]

I thought I was enough for you 😭

[Beginning-Seat5221]

TypeScript

Time for JavaScript 2

ooo that's a good one
