lmao this is too real bro
what do you propose ?
what do you mean by this?
FOR JUNIOR DEVS:
Do not learn new stuff all tthe time. Focus on something. React + Node backed? Good. Next? Good. Prisma? Good. SQL? Good.
Just pick, focus and stop being biased by videos like this. Don't believe in miniatures like this video has - this is not true.
New stuff will arrive each month ut this does not mean that you need to drop everything and run for a new.
I agree. This video is nonsense. This approach to learning is like chasing your tail for the money,it's not sustainable.
@@Yashhh02 The video mentions React as part of its path.
exacltly
totally false.
we are gen z.
we are young and we push for innovations. We will become managers.
So we must stay up to date.
Only boomerz like you want to defend the status quo but you can't stop us.
we are the future of development and our salary is a fraction of yours so we are more competitive
Roadmap - Logic / Choose a Language / Choose your FrameWork / Go Work as UberDriver. Good Luck Son.
I have 10 years experience with front-end, mainly Angular. I have been unemployed for 9 months. In this time I have learnt React, Next, Nest and a slew of other stuff. In all, I have taken a look at 85% of this and worked heavily with 65% of it. And yet, I remain unemployed. I don't think it matters what you learn, unless it's on the job.
is the market that bad or are u just selective with the job? just curious about the struggles because i feel like mid-senior level jobs are plenty
This is a you problem I think. Are you not even getting any interviews?
Sydney market. 100+ applicants for many jobs. Very few angular jobs advertised. I have started getting React interviews but muscle memory isn't great for tech tests. When it comes to years of React experience, I answer less than 1 year commercially, despite my broad web frontend / SPA / Agile / typescript etc experience. I'd have to lie about commercial React. I'm 54 years old with a solid CV. I wonder how much is about me, the market, and on-paper experience. I'm a pretty good dev, playing with lots of ideas and tech, busting with motivation, but probs have to sell up and change career, at least for a while. Was selective for a while but no longer nor is salary an issue. Thanks for asking
Learn backend
@@randomfellow1483 my thoughts exactly. something you can hang your hat on.
As a newcomer to React/Next, this is the most helpful video I've seen to help ppl catch up with the technological frontier.
Your simplicity of explaining give me a big idea of how function work
I actually did focus exactly on these plus graqhQL, trpc and react-native. Glad I did! keep up the good content.
I love the way you're explaining difficult concepts in an easy and understandable ways, explaining the core of them not forgetting about advantages and disadvantages. That's why I've bought your React+Next.js course, I'm not a newbee in React, but some concepts are still needed to be improved, so that's why I chose you! :) Good luck with your chanel, I'm a big fan of it! ❤
Awesome, enjoy! :)
Hello, one aspect worth noting is that the ongoing updates to frameworks such as React signify its enduring strength and relevance in the field.
I love your speaking pace and style, I found your videos very easy to understand and I understood difficult concepts very easily.
More power to you, ❤
Same!
started my journey in may last year. glad to know that i am on the exact path as shown in video.
same
backend developer for the last 7 years (Spring) with some front end experience from college that's quite rusty. looking to up my skills. your video here was well worth the 25 min watch. will be checking out your course possibly.
I think no have made a video this clearly. Excellent roadmap and I am currently learning nextjs and building a ecommerce app. so excited.
Speaking of shadcn, as a jr self taugh dev and who absolutely love your teaching methodolgy and overall aesthetic, I mostly only am hip to shadcn due to the modals. Though i tried the other day wraping the dialog overlay into a motion function to get some animation but gosh i couldn't figure it out. I then took a stab at trying to build my own modals and even using a global state manangement library (zustand), couldnt get the classNames to set fixed positioning and margin on the body and root divs in next14 app router. I know it's possible but i am still tinkering with learning how to be creative with server and interactive components. But gosh i am loving NextUI and whole bunch. I am surprised that i don't see as much hype on youtube as i do with aceternity and shadcn. Aceternity to me is a very raunchy situation though. and shadcn is so crisp! NextUI is a fine hybrid
Thanks again for the superb Content, Wesly :)
This is exactly what I needed at this point in my web dev journey. Thank you!
Thanks big Bro! Started on this journey last week.
Awesome vid, Wesley. Looking forward for the next vid!
Stay tuned! :)
I’m team Kotlin with Ktor for backend, and actually use it for apps and frontend too. Kotlin is the new JavaScript, you can use it everywhere since it’s Multiplatform (even compiles to JavaScript)
great roadmap, but Isn't this relying too much in Vercel and nextjs?, I know that putting more things could be overwhelming, but what about other options for deploying, like using AWS S3 for deploying static websites, or AWS RDS for databases, or google cloud, asure options.
And how to test everything, test a nextjs app for exemple. Idk if this goes out of scope of an web developer and more in a devops direction, but I feel that there's things lacking.
This is 100% Great Content, I'm 100% agree with you.
It weirdly seems the Roadmap tailor made exactly for me at exactly the time I needed it....thanks man....and thanks universe for conspiring for my success
CZcams's algo imho
GOD
Actually, this roadmap fits perfectly with his paid course :)
Fantastic tutorial, Extremely helpful, I was more or less thinking of the same thing and this is what i have done.
I am building my own framework with Spring Boot backend and a React front-end.
I am contemplating Vite VS Next,
But for Form validation, I can easily do that in React,
I think JS in backend is just wrong. So does Nextjs. I recommend Vite against Next.
It's interesting because, just by observing what is what, some puzzles in my head have started to come together.
Nice list. The only thing not mentioned was testing that would be worthwhile to know (Cypress, Playwright, React Test Library, Jest, etc), but other than that I feel like your were spot on.
Good point
Thank you very much for this!
I'd like to know your opinion on GraphQL.
Isn't it relevant to include in the roadmap?
As someone who's been struggling with imposter syndrome during my learning it felt good to say to myself " hey I actually already know most of that" (or at least the basics).
just came to say, that tell me when JavaScript developers learn to keep the things simple, and stop changing the framework, or the way you write your JavaScript, at backend we have been using the same frameworks over years
True!
Thats a long wait then
lol i'm a backend guy looking to up my skills in front end and it's true. seems like front-end is always shifting with "what's most popular" being what's "important" but javascript, html, css always come back as the core that they just keep morphing around. that said i am happy to see some (react, angular) starting to settle and grow more tenure.
Front-end hasn't changed. If you want to do things the way people did in the 2000s you can, using vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript. However, if you want the new, more performant, more capable technology you will have to learn and adapt to it.
Though I understand a backend language such as Python makes things easier as new technology is built on top of it as packages/modules and not an entire framework, however, the Python of today is very different from the Python of the 2000s as well.
The booking api, every flight is a json with around 500 lines of information, probably more, so typescript is mandatory so you can use all the type definitions.. imagine moving so much data without autocomplete... . I say booking but not exactly them, I have worked with another similar api.
My name is Wesley and I’m learning WebDev too 🙂 thanks for the helpful video!
Thank you for that. I never understood when to use next.js and when to setup a separate backend with express. Became pretty clear now. If you want any kind of feedback: don’t tell people they might earn 10k a month. It all depends on overall economy. And times are getting tougher. Your courses are great. Thank you for that. But learning software development is only one step on the way to become financially successful. Stay authentic. That‘s what makes your courses great stuff. ❤
great topic , thanks 👍
Świetne rady, dzięki!
What an awesome video, I've been in tech and web dev for 30 for years and this was a brilliant state of the union snapshot. Thanks for the video!!
Thank you for the update.
Great Video Thanks😇
Really helpful video, thank you for making such a concise overview of the roadmap. I have a request - could you make a tutorial on implementing NextAuth and best practices with authentication in NextJS. Thanks.
what about saas? for my case, the router/page frame structure of nextjs is confilicted against my requirement(the frame structure of login page and dashboard), so I used react-router and basically wrote everything manually - not using any framework.
Also: trpc for typesafe apis, Convex for database service, Clerk for auth 👌
Hey man, I really like your tutorials, but i was wondering maybe you could showcase some basic crud operations with the syncfusion scheduler, because their documentation is kinda lacking in that area
after watching the first video, I am watching this and subscribed. you are awesome.
Nice video, thanks!
Super helpful. Thank you
I'm starting to religiously follow this roadmap for couple of months and I'll get back once I do complete all the steps.
Well then you can expect
" Next JS ❌"
"Ups JXS ✅"
The naked truth is that, every second new and newer framework and libraries pop somewhere around our mighty Earth !
How to stay a junior forever by chasing framework churn instead of learning the modern web platform. You'd be surprised by how simple and small all of the big scary monsters that react has been saving you from are.
Hi Sir. thanks for your video. when it comes to Authentication and Payments, taking Next-Auth and Stripe as the example, do they work without the support of backend? i mean if i can implement authentication and payment just using them without implementing java/spring based application server?
Very nice video, very well explained and very good road map , loved it all what you said and you make amazing content thank you !!
Thanks! Enjoy
I actually spent 5 years to learn and effectively use all the stuff you've mentioned in daily basis. I have 4 prod projects that are in various field of expertises and also actively employeed all this time from start.. I earn less than 1.5k USD a month. So what you earn(you've mentioned 10k) depends on where you work and where you live. 😅
Yep alot have change but im still maintaining component base react…
thank you
I agree with most of these but not Nexjs, tried it a few times and it is good for simple websites but not for web applications. Tanstack router, and code based routing is so much better particularly if you have complex routes and dynamic applications where SEO isn't a concern. No one seems to talk about the fact that server based routing means the provider needs to pay for CPU compute, good for vercel. It's thin vs fat client all over again why would you want to not use the clients CPU?
Pretty useful video and important informations, thanks
Using strapi or CMS as a backend , isn’t better idea?
For React, subtle shoutouts need to go to Remix. Definitely a solid Next competitor especially if they add support for Server Components
Any good intro or course that you could please point me to?
Unfortunately, there are very few Remix-oriented jobs
Its really easy i have build an website in 4 weeks with user roles, thats ran an specific webscrapping task with file upload and Download.
But i have never see so Bad documentation as on NextJS
may i know when did u get all of this new informations?? maybe platforms that i could use like twitter or something. i wanna stay updated for front end dev
Unit Testing and End to End Testing with Cypress needed to be mentioned, no company works without testing.
Web deving will hit a huge high in allowing people to characterize their own artistic talent and styling intricacies, giving a new era of lifeless AI a bit of hope for us mere mortals competing with machines.
He show us the way of JS-based web dev roadmap. At the same time he show us the Tool which replacing us Now 👍
I am currently learning ReactJS, will start NextJS once my React foundations are little strong. Also experimenting a with Tailwind CSS on the side
Just stop and go try other stuff my friend. Dont waste your time
@@vitorac412 why?
@@vitorac412wdym?
@@vitorac412what does that mean? Go do something else outside web dev?
i think docker would be an addition to this list at this point
thanks man , i always watch your vides
I appreciate that, thanks
Why don't I just use Webflow with its available "apps"? What can this multi library, hand coded approach offer in an advantage? Thanks.
Nice video. Consider looking into Ionic/Capacitor a bit more, their ecosystem exploded exponentially over the last couple of years.
Will take a look, thanks! :)
dropping next js in 2024
Great roadmap Wesley.
My only criticism is that was that there was no mention of .NET anywhere.
Thanks 🎉
Well explained
I’m still seeing on majority of job descriptions React is more common than Next. Typescript definitely should be learned. The triad html, css, JavaScript for sure. Node for sure and an ORM definitely. But, I’m not seeing any other serious movement towards those other technologies on job listings it’s far less common.
You make great videos man.
Feeling good to see how much i have been progressed. Im been learning web development from q4 2022 and full time from may 2023.
I have learnt more than 90% of the things mentioned in the video.
I love react/nextjs ecosystem with typescript and tailwind.
Can u help me? I wanna know how i can do it? I had done pre medical but did not get into med clg. I had a lot of pressure and i had to something so i wanna know.
@@user-ks8eu5yq5f yeah definitely.
can you explain what you are looking to do in web development, and how much you know about programming.
what you think you about Vue and Nuxt.Js ?
Great video thanks. I’ve been a salesforce developer for 12 years, basically Java but with many parts of the stack taken care of (database, hosting, styling etc..). I want to build web apps now. Do you think a react + next.js stack is a good place to start or would svelte and svelte kit be better? Looking to build great web apps without getting too lost in tech details. Thanks again 🙏
Interesting. I'm biased and would prefer React & Next.js (that's what's my channel about) but there are people that love Svelte.
@@ByteGrad awesome thanks. Maybe I’ll try both and see. React has so much support and info around it. I’ll def be watching more of your videos. Great content
How about learning atom state management library nowdays??
What's your opinion?
Love your JS course. Would you mind making a video on SolidJS?
Great idea
Why prisma and drizzle? I dont understand this hype. They doesnt support DSL in migrations. I think that typeorm(for typescript) and sequelize(for js, but also has some limited support for typescript) are much better.
the timing of this video can not be understated
Dziękuję :)
What about HTMX? i dont want to learn js frameworks like react and next.js, can i do it with java spring and htmx and some extra js when need it?
Sir please,reply on when we use next js as frontend and node js as backend end how we can manage our middleware code for protecting routes because I send token in response of login api and i got it in client components and middleware run on server how I can pass token to server please explain this topic
learn java or c# you will get job very quickly 90% of the entreprise code is in those two language just ignore node and nextjs are not used in banks and big finance company.
Man i know all of these. Now how to earn xD
Start doing things rather than commenting here😅
@@stranger_life_ak4720that's the only hard thing, how do we find clients? How do we get internship, that's something I struggle the most
@@santra528 bro played uno reverse here 😂
skill issue
@softrn
Bro thank you so much for this vidoe
No problem
Thank you ByteGrad.
I am already close
In one year i have covered almost 70% of the things
But only getting close to 1k
.NET C# not even mentioned as Backend framework!
Sorry about that, .NET is alive and well. Will upvote this comment for visibility
(all us .net devs getting paid be like "sure kids, go learn all that alphabet soup stuff lol")
Whoever become a software developer and complains about learning they are doomed to failure, the best part about SD is learning
What would you do as a 40+ year old, or suggest to a 40+ years old without prior professional experience in coding/programming/dev:
1. webdev: HTML, CSS, JS, REACT, NEXTJS, FIGMA?
2. (big)data: PYTHON, SQL, PowerBI?
3. Web3/Blockchain dev: PYTHON, SOLIDITY
4. none of above, and stick to current job, no matter whatever it is, becaue ${reasons (age, ...)}!
My goal is to make mobile apps is there any full course to this roadmap. Ive been away from JavaScript since 2016 but i still can get around with many stuff. Where can i start?
should i become specialist or generalist on these day
(all of us MS stack devs to the competition: "yeah.. go learn all of that stuff! Lol")
I guess that's the beginner tech stack so you're ready for internship or junior position? :)
What if you learned all these, How do you do freelancing with this? no fiverr or upwork.
I khnew backend is deep but why we learn all of this ? Just learn django,php or java.
Amazing
How to earn ? Could u just elaborate on these more like getting job ?or getting client from where?
same lol
Yes, will make a dedicated video on this
@@ByteGrad thank you so much, really looking forward to it!!! That's the biggest bug in our life at the moment 😅
@ByteGrad waiting for the video.
With all the AI tools (Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot, ...) and the low-code tools to drag-and-drop a website or an app together the current generation is growing up with, in a couple of years companies will be begging for candidates able to write 5 lines of code that makes sense and works.
OR
Current situation will get worse, AI and low-code will take over the main industry, while a very small pool of programming engineers will be needed to do actual software engineering. Resulting in a situation that coding, programming won't be a good choice for your professional life.
What do you think?
omi也可以，基于webComponent
Where and how do cloud services fit into all this?
There are new frameworks each month. Pick a stack and master it. Then you can learn new stuff, which works 90% the same way anyway.
