- Cypher 8y agoIt depends on your goals, You can have a broad sense of skills to be a full stack developer. Knowing enough front end, middlewear and backend to design a database schema build the routing api and rendering on the reach client, thats great for small teams wanting small rapid projects in a quick turn around and you'll be to find new projects all the time. The trick there is to look at other peoples projects and then see how fast you can replicate them until you're confident you can make something on your own. On the flip side If you want to be a .net core expert in a larger team on a longer project then you'll have to dedicate more time to the backend and getting familiar with the various design patters, the trick is to prove it to whoever is interviewing. Majority of the time you'll need good team work, GIT, communication, clean coding practices and then some generalised programming concepts followed up by deeper understanding of the language. Ideally you go through books and sample projects and then work your way up to open source projects where you can demonstrate good track record of git, code, commit and commenting.
