Confused on what to do next
Posted by Many-Marzipan-9804@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 14 comments
I have learned JavaScript and Python, and now I am learning Java, C++, and MERN. I will create some projects to solidify my understanding of these languages. However, after that, I don't have a plan for what would be suitable to learn next.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Cheers

You have roadmap.sh to look for "career roadmaps" (take it with a grain of salt)
It would be wise to stay on a single path until you're proficient enough.
You can avoid the hassle of the JavaScript ecosystem by learning another language plus a framework;
Like python + django or php + laravel. Ruby on rails, etc.
Same thing I did; I'm frontend dev and also a graphic and ux designer, which is half the reason I get gigs in the first place.

thx for the advice i hve lerned django i want to be able to do full stack but just confused to what to be focused towards

You mean stack wise or in a professional sense?
I learn long time ago that I'd be doing front just because of my interests, I guess it is hard to have a sense of direction.

Please do not juggle between all these languages.. draw a learning path.. move with that.. python js if you have did.. learn something which works with these 2 like flak and react.js.. if if your target is something else, let me know if can provide you a free counseling...

I learned JavaScript for the MERN stack, Python because it’s beginner-friendly, Java for practicing DSA, and C++ because it's part of my college syllabus

Ok, but stick within a track.. that will build value to your profile!!

well programming is a tool. what do you want to do?
check your local job boards and master the most common technology.
if you want to get really good at making websites i recommend mastering something like Laravel

I'm planning to build a career in full-stack development, and I've just added PHP to my learning path—thanks a lot

Learn another language. Haha just kidding. Don’t do that. Build something cool now!

On it boss

Maybe looking at job descriptions, seeing what the tasks and qualifications are and then working with those

Brother, I am not able to understand why you are learning so many programming languages? what do you want to do? You should have learnt one language and mastered it in some fields. If you want to learn Web development, JavaScript is enough. First think in which field you want to go, then master the language from that, learn and understand it.

I’m planning to pursue full-stack development, and my reason for learning four programming languages is to be adaptable—able to switch to another language whenever needed. Although I know AI won’t replace developers, the thought of it still unsettles me
