Any advice or Topic recommendation for junior frontend developer to study
Hi masters! I've been working on frontend enviorment for about 1 and a half years.
what kind of topic or skills do you recommend to any junior frontend devs to learn or improving their technical levels in future?
sorry for long story short, I'm not that good at english to explain my story 😂
+ I hope this question is not against rules here 🙏

I've been primarily frontend for a few years now, and my backend skills are embarrassing. Getting comfortable in the backend as well will make you a more well-rounded developer.
Frontend specific things:
- get comfortable with Typescript and don't let yourself use
any
- Tailwind is super nice, but also make sure you have a solid CSS foundation so you can switch to other style systems if needed
- learn more about state management, really dive into Tanstack Query, and play with some Zustand
- the URL is a great place to store state as well, might want to checkout Tanstack Router
(the URL and Tanstack Query should cover nearly all of your global state needs)
Other helpful things:
- data structures can help give you more tools to tackle complex problems (do some LeetCode)
- get comfortable working with databases & SQL
- read books on software development! Start with the Phoenix Project, it's a story on transforming a company's horrible development system/culture into a pleasant, controlled, and responsive one.
