Ask HN: What web framework should I learn as a freelancer?

7 points by moraya-re 9 years ago | 5 comments

Hi, I've been using Laravel since a year. But what I've seen, mostly, programmers working in other ecosystem than PHP get more per hour billing. Please shade some light.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Happy weekend :-)

Not a real answer, but more like some food for thought:

The two big obvious ones are Rails and Django. If you want a less common, more mind bending, more cutting edge experience, try Phoenix.

Rails and/or Django. Check what's more popular in your area.

React. A lot of demand right now, great for freelancing.
