There are opportunities but you have to be patient

There is a good book by Michael heartl called ruby on rails tutorial or something like that, https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftcover.s3.amazonaws.com%2F636%2Fruby_on_rails_tutorial_7th_edition%2Fimages%2Fcover-web.png&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.railstutorial.org%2Fbook&docid=Oj5lAhYNOT9xDM&tbnid=QRajM6cix_CD9M&vet=1&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim

Then after finishing this project I started on one of my own projects, I think the most important thing is to have something you want to build after cos that motivates you to learn
