Hey guys, would someone trying to get into backend development need to learn Shopify ? Would you guys recommend backend or frontend ? I am more comfortable in the backend so I am currently learning html, css, javascript and django..but las las na to get job be the main issue.
Is django a profitable skill to have ?

tensazangetsu20:
Truthfully Django is not a profitable skill. I always recommend newbies to check the job market. There's very few Django jobs out there and the few are for senior developers. Hardly would you get an opportunity as a junior Django developer except you plan to build your own Company once you done learning

As for Shopify, you need the frontend. So learn HTML CSS JavaScript, React which Shopify uses and then ruby on rails. Then hop onto the Shopify documentation to learn liquid.

GuyInTheMirror:
Thank you very much.
Although I am based in Canada, I will try and confirm the marketability of django here, cos I started out with python and I am very proficient with python, and learning django has been a much easier thing than Javascript.

A lot of people are learning to code and why not. It's the best Industry to get into right now. Aside a ton of jobs, there's also a lot of ways to make side income as a developer. It's an amazing skill set to have that can produce a ton of value both for an individual and for the general society at large.

However, a lot of people aren't getting jobs easily especially junior developers. The Industry is very brutal to beginners so if you are a beginner you want to be strategic in your learning and what kind of jobs you apply to. Your goal at the beginning is to get into the game and start getting paid.

This list doesn't apply to you if you love the latest tools and frameworks. This list also doesn't apply to you if you love deep computer science fundamentals. If you do go learn some C++, master all relevant data structures and algorithms and go work at Google and build out tools for we mere mortal programmers. For the rest of us who are coding to get a job and make some bread fast then this list Is for you.

1. Wordpress theme: WordPress powers up 32 percent of the internet and is not going anyway anytime soon. Everyday millions of wordpress websites are launched on the internet and it's the go to technology for marketing agencies. Knowing how to build custom WordPress themes would easily enable you get jobs as a developer in a marketing agency as they are always getting big time custom jobs and not a lot of people know how to do this presently. If you are the type that hates PHP, be aware that you can build a wordpress theme with React and Gatsby using the Gatsby source wordpress experimental plugin.

2. Wordpress plugins: what better way to validate your knowledge as a full stack developer than a wordpress plugin? This shows that you can build a whole useful application on your end. An amazing thing to have on your portfolio. As a developer that works with wordpress a lot of your job will be extending functionalities to current plugins and building new ones and this project let's your potential employer see that you can do just that.

3. Shopify theme: Shopify is the second largest e commerce platform in the world. It's the go to platform for small businesses with regards to e commerce. Shopify developers are Increasingly in demand in agencies worldwide. It's not taught anywhere so if you want to learn this technology get ready to grind it out on the Shopify documentation. Knowing to build out your own Shopify themes set you ahead of the pack in regards to Shopify developer jobs.

4. Shopify application: same reason as wordpress.

5. Magento theme: Magento is the world's largest e commerce platform. It's used by medium sized to really big businesses. It's a very complicated platform and due to its complexity most jobs require that you are Magento certified. According to Magento, we have just two certified Magento developers in Nigeria. What better way to prove your competence in a complex platform if you aren't certified by showing off a theme you made in that platform.

Real estate or e commerce platform with laravel. If you are a junior developer that went one-step further to learn laravel then you might consider building an application of this sort with it. I usually don't advice people to learn laravel even though it's based on PHP and beautiful to use. It's the most popular backend framework and a junior would be competing with a senior for a lot of jobs. However, a complex project in laravel would get you interview calls and you never know when one of those interviews would turn into an opportunity.

You don't have to go out and build really complex projects. You would burn out. For the wordpress theme you could take a really basic blog, style it and make it beautiful and responsive across all devices. For an application you could take an external API and build something in wordpress with it. For instance you could use the paystacks API to build out an application to check if account numbers entered into a system are valid or not.

Once you have all your projects ready. Get your resume done and begin to apply to jobs like a mad man. It's relatively easy to get jobs in these technologies even remotely as absolutely no one I repeat no one wants to work with them.
