What track should i take?

Hello everyone. I am about to finish the front end web development track in a week or so and I was wondering what I should dive into next and what languages I should focus on? My goal is to land a entry level position as a Web Developer. All is appreciated. Thank you

Depending on where you're located, you should scan jobs near you and develop a sense about required technologies. Eg, is React in 75% of the job listings? It wouldn't hurt to learn some backend programming. While Ruby on Rails may seem attractive, learning Python (Flask or Django) has more utility beyond web backend work. If you've been coding for < 100 hours so far, just get another 100 hours in ASAP, then rethink strategy :)

If you want to develop for WordPress then jump into WP Development course. You don’t need to know PHP to do it, just a basic understanding of program concepts. If you want to do Front End Development then jump into JavaScript and then pick up a framework.
