If your building a portfolio I recommend building it with what-ever you want, but build other projects if you can to advertise and learn new things.
After 5 months of studying you should have at least the basics down. I recommend learning more about what choices are available yourself so you have a better context as to what you learned during that time, and have a better idea of what you'd like to learn next. For example, you should know the advantages and disadvantages of using something like React. Also JQuery, React, Node are all just JavaScript, which I recommend sticking to. I don't recommend learning other languages unless you plan on focusing on back-end. There is also languages like TypeScript, but I consider learning TypeScript secondary to core JS skills.
So at this point I'd say there are 3 approaches you could take when it comes to building something on your own for more experience/practice.
Use a framework and get better at it, with more complex problems.
Don't use a framework and learn the bare bones of using JS. I don't believe you would end up using this knowledge directly at work most of the time, but its the kind of stuff that powers what ever you do end up using (SPA frameworks aren't magic)
Dump the front-end and focus on just JavaScript by learning Nodejs. Programming is programming, regardless of where it t is done. In node there is no DOM, so you get to focus more on the data than client-side focused API's.
Thanks Brad! It sounds good approaches 😀 I thought too about NodeJs, but why I am hesitating is because I know that I have got some lack in JS and in my mind, if I have difficulties and that I don't realize that I am not confident on that language, I can't go further... because I might mess up in my head... but with all your advices I can see clearly things, I jus need also to be patient with myself 👍
