Hi everyone,
I’m a “newly graduated” (Januar last year)web developer with a background in Vue (from school) and about a year of experience using AngularJS in my current role (A year next month). Since I’m planning to find a new job soon, I’ve been thinking about learning React to boost my competitiveness. From what I’ve seen, 60-80% of job postings seem to list React as a requirement or a nice-to-have.
I learn best through hands-on experience rather than just watching tutorials or reading documentation. I enjoy building small interactive apps like text-based RPGs, card games or something gamified, so I’d prefer to approach learning React by creating engaging projects.
Here’s what I’d love to know:
- Do you think React is worth learning for better job prospects in today’s market?
- How would you recommend I start learning React, considering my experience with Vue and AngularJS?
- Are there any beginner-friendly projects or challenges you’d suggest for getting comfortable with React?
Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated, especially from those who’ve transitioned into React from other frameworks. Thanks!
