What's next?

HI,

I just finished the front-end track. and I want to start learning about back-end. my question is - what is your recommendation? Should I start the PHP track? or to get better grip with full stack JS? or even something else?

thank you.

Hi there Dor,

The answer to that question very much depends on what you want to do with your tech career. If you want to work with front end technologies you could work with the full stack JS track..

I wish I could help you with an informed choice about technologies but there's a wide choice out there but for me the choice is vast. PHP and Python will help you understand server side technologies. You can extend your PHP skills further by working with WordPress development. Either to build your own WordPress themes for clients or to sell them on.

Then there's mobile development with either Android or iOS and I haven't even touched on Game Development yet.

I suggest node.js

I mean you already started learning JavaScript so why learn another language?
