Could you briefly describe how someone who’s a Developer with a CS Bachelors Degree could transition into a Data Analyst role? Would this be a step down, with less room for growth?


When you mean small project, do you mean try building a CRUD app?

If someone were to dive in to this to learn React as part of a Full Stack, what are some ideas where you'd use React, but also all of the back end tools to make it a full stack application?


By small project i mean, something not so complicated. It can be any size you want. For example, think about building an e-commerce website's front end with React, or a calculator app front end, anything you can do.

You can't really build a CRUD App with React. It's a JS lib for building front end user interfaces. For the backend is when you'll need a CRUD app, not front end, backend can be built with Node, and understanding React makes it much easier for you to understand Node. Your React app will connect to an API endpoint for communication and for the app to work, you may be able to find free public API to use and connect to. If you can't find an API or a backend to use, use arrays or read from a local file, use that as a replacement for connecting to the API or database.

For full stack: Front can be: React, or Angular, e.t.c. Backend: Node, Python, PHP, Java, C++, e.t.c.

You'll use React pretty much for the whole of the front end. From user login, to admin dashboard, to JS animations, e.t.c.

Hope this helps.


What would be job titles for careers for a CS/software developer that are specifically based on data warehousing? I'd be interested in looking up such jobs and seeing their requirements.


You'll often see these entitled data engineers, data architects, data warehouse engineers. Terms to search for are data warehouse, data lake. Industries that use EDI tend to have datawarehousing jobs. These include healthcare, energy, retail shopping


I actually have a contact through a family friend who is in upper management (with a development role) at a company in the industry. His company is a much smaller shop and more of a SaaS, but I believe their tech stack is much more mainstream. I might reach out and ask them what they think I'd need to equip myself with to join them.


That is a great start! Networking is always a good resource. At minimum you’d get some relevant feedback.


Wow thank you so much for your time on this answer. You've really helped calm my fears and doubts, as well as provided me with a foundation for a strategy to make myself a marketable candidate.

I've found a Multiplatform React Native To Do/Notes application that is open source and on GitHub. I think I will try to cut my teeth with RN and JS on this application.

If I am successful with this, and eventually fix a couple bugs and perhaps implement a new feature, would that be helpful at demonstrating my aptitude with the JS/RN framework?

Thanks again for taking time out of your day with this great contribution.


For someone fresh out of college or a boot camp that might be useful for me, but when looking at a candidate with a lot of experience (5+ years), I would not really be too interested in languages they used unless they were in large projects at a full time role. Coming from where you are, I would think getting some chops in a more mainstream language would be helpful. If that language were to be JS I would not personally be looking for anything related to React/Angular/Other framework but just general knowledge of the language and, for JS specifically, the web platform and tools.
