I’ve been in web development for the past 2.5 years, primarily as a Frontend Developer, since my backend knowledge is limited. For the last 1.5 years, I’ve also been freelancing, working with over 20 clients and completing more than 40 projects.</p> <p>Given the current market, I’m planning to shift towards mobile development. I’ve already built a mobile app for a client using AI in React Native.</p> <p>My question is: should I first learn backend development before transitioning to mobile development, or can I directly focus on mobile development?</p> career mobile freelancing discuss
