Which Technology Should I Learn?

Hello everyone, choosing a technology has been quite an headache at least for me, in my programming journey.
I love both the frontend and the backend because starting to learn programming, I have clear idea of what I'm gonna be building. In the meantime, I've learned #django #JavaScript #css #html #bootstrap #python... I planned to build a fully functioning blog site, or a forum website like this but I've been unable to combine these technologies, then one of my tutor now said to achieve my dream, the best technologies to learn is react ND firebase firestore for database. Initially,i was gonna use django ND postgresql. I'll be happy to be enlightened by guru devs here... Thanks.

I would suggest to make use of what you've already gotten familiar with, instead of trying to catch up with current web dev trends. It's especially important at beginnimg, to stick with and learn some technology in-depth before widening your technology arsenal.

So since you have some experience with Python and Django, that should be your backend choice. Postgres seems like a good choice in this situation. Even with the NoSQL hype, every dev should be comfortable with using relational, SQL databases.

As for frontend, I'd suggest not to jump in the advanced frontend technology deepend before you get good at the very basic building blocks of HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Often you don't need anything more than that and once you feel like experimenting with something more advanced, you'll have a deeper understanding of how to effectively use the framework and why it's useful in the first place.
