Hello Guys,
I'm new here !!
What's your opinion about this app?
Hope someone can give me an advice about should i learn advanced things in a lot of things, or is better to specialize in one language or one subject as mobile apps for example?

Hi! New to this app too. If you wanna find a job, I think it's better to specialize. I have learnt a lot of frameworks and libraries for the last year and trust me, that doesn't work. Instead of spending 10 hours in mastering 1 technology, I wasted 1 hour in 10 different technologies. Now I know a little about a lot of things, but I am advanced in none.

Try to focus on one thing and once and only once you feel confident enough, change to another.

I'm not here to agree or disagree, but I spent three years getting really good at only Angular, and now I am in my second year as a developer in a React shop. Learning one skill really well can be transferable to other skills. Likewise, it wouldn't have been nearly as easy to learn Angular after ten years of playing music instead of programming if I hadn't specialized in PHP/WordPress beforehand.

Now that I've specialized in a few areas, I find it much easier to pick up a new, albeit related, skill.

Also, welcome to the community!
