How far should I go with frontend?

Hello, guys!

I'm studying web developing for the past fews months. My goals is not to be hired by a company, but to develop some personal web projects of my own. Im studying all the 'Laravel Skill' series here at Laravel.

I already did some study on frontend, too. I've took courses outside Laracasts on Javascript and ES6. Here at Laracasts I took the Vue series. I have a question to more seasoned programmers: Should I study more on frontend other than ES6 and Vue (like React, Angular, etc)? Or should I focus on Laravel now?

Depends, sometimes js can be over done. A small amount for enhancement makes a good page, over done can be confusing.

Myself I came from the java enterprise world dealing in logistics software, mainly hard core databasing, did not need the frills on a page.

So just depends on the application.

A little secret: The State Of Texas as an example has the "hard core databasing" that employees see, but the public side has the "frills".

Many large trucking companies is the same, the part that does the heavy hitting, usually enterprise java, but for a customer portal, some actually use other technology such as php, js for the customer part.

Just my 5 cents.
