Hi.
I've been a developer for two years now and I'm still fairly new to a lot of concepts.
Keeping up with both worlds. Yes things are always changing in both Web and Mobile. My way of dealing with this is working on random projects just for fun. Whenever I'm free, maybe on holiday or a break from school, I like to work on projects from both Web and Mobile to Sharpen my skills.
I started out with web development. HTML, CSS then moved on to Javascript and PHP as I advanced. Along the way I got to learn different frameworks like React, Angular, working with Node Js.
After a while I got into Mobile development with Java/Android. For me it was a bit complex as I had no prior knowledge of Java. After struggling with it for two months I switched to Ionic Framework/cordova. Which uses html,css,js to build Hybrid mobile apps. A lot was still missing in Ionic Framework and the performance was not as good as native apps. That's when flutter was released publicly and I jumped on that train and have never looked backed.
That's great!
I'm in the same boat now. I started learning web dev in late 2016 then had to do a mobile app for my graduation project, so I used Android Studio. It was not difficult, having previous experience with Java, and ended up being fun. Now I'm looking to try React Native.
Do you think learning PHP is relevant nowadays?
Hi Newton.
How long have you been a developer? How do you balance keeping up with all things web and mobile? Which one did you first start with?

I believe PHP is relevant in some way which I have no idea about. I switched from PHP a long time ago and now use NodeJS for everything server side
I 'learned' PHP at university but never used it. I can't wait to start learning Node.
Thank you for your answers!
Happy to help
