First get the basics with HTML and CSS. Learn JavaScript then Typescript. Figure out if you want to learn SaSS, styled components (for JavaScript based applications), or a library like Tailwind. Do YouTube searches and research on React, Vue, and Angular. See which one gels with you.
I suggest Udemy for that and if you're interested I can suggest specific teachers.
If you or your company are hiring UI/UX developers then DM me, hopefully then I'll train you myself.
Sorry, I should've made myself clearer. I am an experienced backend developer but I know basic HTML, CSS and JS/TS. My problem is not with learning the basics of these foundational technologies, or learning anything actually. My problem is what should I even learn and what is a good stack-choice, taking into account not just my own enjoyment and what is popular/cool, but futureproofing and maintainability as well. I don't have time to go through all frontend frameworks. There are simply too many and it is not an exercise I find enjoyable.
In that case just pick up something and find out for yourself what is relevant to you.
I am literally asking for help for that exact thing in this thread. I come here asking "What frameworks should I learn?" and your response is "just pick something yourself"? I mean why are you even writing this comment, this is the most irrelevant and useless response to my question I can imagine.
Sorry, if it sounded like you should do the work yourself. What I meant is that I'd advise you to not think too much about your first choice and instead pick up any framework just to get started. Just one of the most popular ones as a starting point. Eventually you'll understand what you like and dislike about that framework and you'll have a better practical understanding of your own requirements for a front-end framework. The differences are too specific to study and examine them on paper.
