I started to learn programming in College and then I went to University and studied Computer Science. After that I did some freelancing and worked for a few companies. I made the most progress through self learning which helped me to get better at JavaScript and I taught myself React.

I remember seeing in job descriptions that companies were open to teaching you frameworks if you did not know them. In my experience they chose to hire someone who already knew the framework. So to give yourself a chance you usually had to teach yourself how to use it prior to applying for those roles.

That sounds hard. I have a bit of a break because I enjoy reading and learning more. I hope you enjoyed your learning phase too.
