Web and desktop app. From my search, Frontend is a mess of frameworks, react is popular but it’s facebook.
Ew yeah frontend is nasty stuff. The more frameworks you know the better but I stay far away from that for a reason
avoid react, please
React’s not going anywhere. May as well learn the basics. Hell, learn the basics of jQuery too. That shit’s everywhere.
Yeah but it should go away
You’re preaching to the choir, comrade. I begged my boss to not introduce React into our jQuery-heavy codebase before we’re done ripping out the jQuery. The interactions we’ve had between old jQuery selectors and React’s virtual dom have not been pretty.
You trying to get a job? If so, frontend is gonna be react or angular (Google) for a lot of entry level jobs. If you can learn just enough of either to bullshit an interview, you can probably get work eventually. It's kind of hard to learn the frameworks without learning some level of basic coding first, but I guess LLMs have probably made this a good bit easier to deal with.
