Thanks John.
My story: I started learning Gatsby and React last February with no JS experience. HARD! This inspired me, after years of WordPress experience, to decide to level up a 20 year hobby for coding and tech into a future career. I graduate from Flatiron in a month and start the job search with experience in Ruby, Sinatra, Rails, JavaScript and React. I have learned Nuxt as well in an attempt to level up that tool set. I see pluses and minuses in both frameworks and love learning. Thanks for your interest.

That's inspiring, Chuck! I finished Flatiron January 3rd here in Brooklyn. It was a life-changing journey. My final project used a Rails Backend and the ReactJS framework for the frontend(actually pretty straightforward if someone helps you get "conditional rendering"). I was also able to add some data visualization using the Chart.js library and an interactive map component with Google React Maps component. I am happy to report that I spoke with a Real Live recruiter today and job prospects are in my near future. Good Luck with everything, Chuck! Flatiron is a great program. Feel free to keep in touch.
