Web development was my into to software development, and I’ve remained so drawn to the abstract potential of all the things you can do with HTML, CSS, JavaScript along with enabling web connectivity platforms like Google and social media etc.
I nibble with some deeper specialization and other formats like native consumer apps etc. But web is still my favorite canvas. Within this area, I kind of specialized in Ruby on Rails and that’s mostly because it’s the tool I happened to get good with. If I settled into this industry earlier or later I could have gotten into PHP or Node.
Still don’t feel sure I’ll be in the same space in a few years. Nibbling on Rust, just looking for some use cases and/or aha moments. 😅
I did end up with PHP, mostly because the guys I graduated with were already using it. Have only taken a small look at Ruby, Elixir, and (most recently) ASP.NET Core. Time is my biggest setback currently, but I would probably be trying to learn more of either Elixir or ASP.NET Core if I had more time.
Yeah, I dove straight into .NET Framework because of the internship and job opportunities I had early on. There was a natural leap to .NET Core when that came out, which is what I primarily use now for work.
However, I've been doing A LOT of Node work lately. It's just so easy to bootstrap a prototype and get something visual quickly.
