Hi, please i need advise on the next thing to learn. I'm new to tech and i have fallen in love with frontend development. I have been doing very fine with css, html and javascript, and designing cool webpages. I tried learning react but, it doesn't seem to be sticking fine with me. Ruby on rails on the other hand seems to be flowing well. Should i face ruby on rails and forget about react? My goal is to be a Frontend dev. not full stack. Ruby on rails touches a bit of backend which is cool to me. Is it easy to get ruby on rails remote jobs while based in Nigeria? Or should i put in more effort in learning react?

Ruby doesn't have enough job. Stick with react.

Learn react...that library is magical!!! Not finding it simple?? That means you jumped many javascript basics...I will advise you to be very vast with javascript before you move to react.

Ruby on rails is a backend framework... since you don't want to be fullstack, you have no business with Ruby on rails.

Rails has more job posting than Laravel on indeed...

I think he's talking with regards to Nigeria. Rails is very popular in the USA. It's what most of their bootcamps use to even teach fullstack development.

Enough Ruby jobs in remote US but do JavaScript.

both are in demand.... So learn both

Thanks..seems i was stuck in tutorial hell. I have picked up a new course and it seems far easier to understand than the previous one i was using. I may also look forward to learning both.

React isn't that hard, I too am a junior dev and if you know JS you can be able to understand react. Although attimes apart from faster load times why don't i use just plain old JS instead of react

When you land a job ask your boss or project manager

I know right. I'm yet to understand while i should be disturbing myself with hooks, when i can use plain old css and js. All the same, i am gradually beginning to fall in love react. Besides, everyone can't be wrong. Most people keep saying react is a great platform, it certainly must be cool.

Ruby on Rails is a Fullstack Web framework, React is for just frontend alone...They're more React jobs for juniors out there than Ruby on rails for juniors but I think they're equally the same jobs for senior roles, I guess. But if you want to get paid more, you should consider Ruby on rails.

You are a clown. So you want to be doing all the rubbish document.querySelector and all the rubbish appendChild nonsense when you could easily just do {} ?

Saying vanillaJavaScript is better than React is like saying using Mortar and Pestle is better than using a blender.

Op na so react b.. just try build something with it.
