As a university student, I'm trying to decide which frontend framework to focus on for my first programming experience. I'm curious about which frameworks are the most in-demand and enjoyable to work with. Given the big variety, I'd love to hear what others think about the influence these choices may have on job roles or company types down the line.

If you're looking for something that's in high demand, I'd recommend React. It's super popular right now. But think about what you feel passionate about too! Have you narrowed down your list of frameworks yet?
Starting off, make sure you have a solid grasp of HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. Those are the building blocks, and understanding them will make learning any framework much easier. The best skill you can gain from university is not just technical knowledge but learning how to learn and adapt in tech.
I have a few in mind, but it’s tough to compare them without hands-on experience. Angular seems good for larger projects, but I might lean towards a startup vibe. I heard Angular has a decent job market as well, though. Then there's Svelte, which sounds fast and has positive reviews for ease of use. Should I stick to React or try Angular?
