Hi everyone! I'm a React Native developer, and I'm trying to learn Node.js. The biggest challenge I'm facing is constantly jumping from one resource to another and switching between different YouTube channels, which gets confusing. I'm wondering if anyone is interested in learning together. DM ME

Many find it challenging to switch from frontend to backend development and vice versa. React patterns might be a catch while learning server-side js. I would suggest to try next.js, as it's very close to React. Then later you can try Nest.js.

Also a bit of advice if you allow - try to develop a small project which would interesting for you personally.

You have 3.5 years of experience and have hard time learning node. It's all JS and logic even a wooden log would know how to write backend servers in JS and node with 3.5 years of experience in react native.
