React is the frontend winner, Vue is good if you look for work in startups, Angular if you're more into enterprise work.
Backend... matter of taste. And each local / regional market is different. PHP has always been big and it has been making good strides technically (use Symfony or Laravel as a first framework).
Python is also a safe bet, Django and Flask are good framework options. Java Spring Boot and C# are good options if you want to work with larger companies. Node is also a good choice in terms of marketability, but I personally prefer one of the "conventional" back end frameworks.
Rust, Go, Haskell, Svelte, Phoenix / Elixir might be exciting, but in terms of market opportunities, it's still relatively small compared to the above. Maybe for when you have more expertise in 2 or 3 of the above.
- jolmg 7y agoWhere's Ruby on your list? Rails 6 came out not long ago.
- raztogt21 7y agoBeen using Ruby / RoR for the last month. I like it more than PHP / Laravel.
- kugelblitz 7y agoIt will vary depending on where you live, but in terms of general market demand, Ruby / Rails is just a much smaller market segment. I'm not talking about how it is in technical terms (Laravel was inspired by Rails in many ways, I think), but just in terms of market share, PHP or Python are a safer bet.
