Programmer and full-stack dev, young book author
Hi there, I’m a young programmer and full-stack dev. I like to make interactive and responsive websites. I’m currently learning Next.js and have deep knowledge in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, R, php & SQL.
I’ve been interviewed in media several times, I’m from India. My name has been printed on newspaper like several times and also known as Computer Boy by the media.
Find me out on Google by searching: Computer Boy Aligarh or a short link (this is my own URL Shortener :) https://cutyoururl.tech/s/ASHISH
Open-source and collaboration
To me, I prefer flask with Jinja. I know django too but it goes a bit hard since I'm not aiming for a website that has just blog, because who change portfolio names anyways? Additionally, loading CSS and libraries manually seems too boring. React is great as it does it all and specifically, the soft navigation! (I wanted to learn react only to have a soft navigation because who wiill do the boring task with pure HTML-JS anyways?)
I understand your concerns but the these things are different for all: It has become too complex: I do not agree with this. How are you learning next.js? I learned HTML, CSS and JavaScript for like 3 years, just wasting time confusing what is React and Next.js. One day, I came on YT to learn SvelteKit. I did nothing but watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylCUH6LkW80 and built a portfolio website. It was my first time to use Svelte, SvelteKit and TailwindCSS (I was not experienced with Node.js either, I didn't knew how to make a react project and had to copy-paste to make one :skull:) Just in one video I understanded good amount of tailwind CSS and svelte. We're not here about Svelte or Tailwind CSS, but I may just say that... Learn when you are ready, don't go quick! I only learned Svelte for like 3 to 7 days and came on React. After svelte, I watched this video and built a next.js portfolio. This literally covered and made me understand like around 5% of next.js and react, maybe? And now I built some cool projects myself. Check out these few: (I am still new to next.js but I built these on my own, and I'm new to tailwind CSS too) ChatGPT Clone + library [Portfolio with Hashnode Blog + Firebase Guestbook)[https://ashishagr.vercel.app/] Hope this make you understand something. What I want to say you and everyone is, it's your choice. If you think next.js is hard but you still want to learn it, then learn the core/basics (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc) first. Don't go ahead directly tailwind CSS with next.js if you are new to both them together, unless you are watching a youtube video. Additionally, you can learn another language if you think you don't seriously have a interest in Next.js. Maybe another react framework: Remix? Maybe another web dev library: Vue/Angular? Or maybe another language probably, Ruby? One last thing If you are already experienced with some other programming languages, I also got intermediate or advanced in Python throughout the last 3 years, you can adapt other frameworks and languages quickly. Always start with building a portfolio with the language you prefer ,but don't switch portfolios too much quick. Instead, make templates like a restaurant website. Feel free to take any images for the restaurant you wish: pinterest and theres lot.
