How long do you learn a language ?

Question

Usually tutors from tutorials say:

1. Learn basics of HTML, CSS, JS
2. Bootstrap,
3. jquery, react etc..
4. some photoshop, git and github, command line
5. backend
So What's the point of learning a little from each and how exactly do you keep up with new tech and features

Answer 1

You never stop. I have been writing code now for 21 years and not a day goes by that I don't find something new.

This all depends on what you want to do. If you want to do front end web work... HTML, js, CSS are musts and learn them well. But modern stuff uses things that build on top of those. Sass, Tyoescript etc. frameworks like Angular. Nodejs. React. Vue. New updates come out multiple times a year on all these things.

If you want to do backend work get a basic understanding of the front end because it helps and then learn scripting languages like java, the C variants, yes even php can be beneficial. If you want to work with data learn databases like MySQL, Oracle or NoSQL, Firebase, Mongo... again all of these are always updating and growing.

They all have their main websites and social media groups and online communities where updates are discussed and documentation exists. Stackoverflow is a phenomenal resource for learning.

Until you have mastered it, I guess, but I only know Ruby, HTML, and Java, and I’m new so you might not want to look at me for help😉
