Comment by Ehsan Fazeli on "Where should I start from to become a full stack web developer?"

First of all, you should find out your primary interest between client-side developing and server-side. I suggest you learn javascript. It's a language that could be used on both front-end and back-end. Then, you can experience Node.js and Vue.js and decide on what path you'd liked to continue your journey. The idea of becoming a full-stack developer from day one is kinda too much to handle. It over-complicates things for you and may disappoint you on some level. And it's an overrated term in my opinion. Sure it was a thing a couple of years ago being a full-stack developer but in 2019 it's a very hard thing to achieve. I'm working and consistently learning new backend-related stuff for at least 10 hours a day and it's never enough.

Be patient, don't lose your thirst to learn, and don't be afraid of new experiences.

And finally I draw your attention to this amazing quote from Tony Robbins:

"Then, you can experience Node.js and Vue.js and decide on what path you'd liked to continue your journey." In my opinion that's one of the worst advice you can give an upcoming developer. Libraries / frameworks are not the inception of learning but one of the goals you may want to achieve. Suggesting to use a specific library like Vue results in another developer who fuels the ongoing hate-everything-else mentality that is currently going on in the web development sector.

Let me disagree with you. Learning a library/framework does not necessarily result in a hate-everything-else mentality but instead makes you - especially if you're a newbie developer - more excited about what you're doing. You can lecture someone about classes, objects, methods etc. or you can walk them through developing a real app. Everyone knows which one is more interesting and useful.

Thank you for all your suggestion and motivation.
