Title: Whilst my world is on hiatus for the foreseeable, I&#x27;ve decided to learn enough web development to ship a few product ideas I&#x27;ve had on the back burner, for a mix of fun, profit and self development.<p>Plan A was to just learn front-end development (HTML, CSS, JS, framework, UI&#x2F;UX) and use a baas like Firebase or AWS for the back-end.<p>Now, I&#x27;m a little concerned that relying on front-end and baas will bottleneck me in some way that isn&#x27;t obvious to me as a newbie.<p>Given the above, how valuable would a back-end education be (node&#x2F;express or ruby on rails), even if I end up going the baas route?<p>Notes:
My product ideas are run of the mill Reddit for dogs, news aggregator, to-do list app type stuff.<p>I&#x27;ll be following one of the Odin Project&#x27;s curriculums.  They offer both front-end and full stack learning tracks.<p>-Front end  https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theodinproject.com&#x2F;tracks&#x2F;3<p>-Full stack Javascript  https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theodinproject.com&#x2F;tracks&#x2F;2<p>-Full stack Ruby on Rails https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theodinproject.com&#x2F;tracks&#x2F;1
