What's up everybody?
I suppose threads like this come twice a day but I only found dated and less relevant content through search.
Would definitely appreciate your thoughts if you could spare a few mins to me.
Here's the situation - me, a 27 year old, BSc and MSc in Entrepreneurship, tech savvy guy, just recently started to learn to do some dev stuff.
So what got me started is the 'android development for beginners' course at Udacity.
So I have been going through stuff like XML and now focusing on HTML/CSS, which should always be handy for basic webpages. So next step for android dev is to learn some java of course.
My goal is to get solid skills at web dev (full-stack), but not like aim to 'master' it.
Plus, that I would like to become a good android dev.
Currently I am going to approach this by learning the HTML/CSS/JavaScript thing for front end and Ruby/Rails for back end. Learn Java as my main/core programming language.
So questions:
1. How does my 'roadmap' sound to you, would you recommend something different about how to go into webdev (perhaps Python/Django?)
2. Is javascript as the programming element of a webpage being replaced? Or should I learn it plus libraries like jQuery?
3. Is it feasible for someone that doesn't intend to become a full-time programmer to get good at more than one core programming language like Python, Java, C, etc. Or are they so different that it's best to get good at one than mediocre at multiple?
4. What would you share as tips for learning more about CS (I would love to get a good grasp of it).
Thanks so much for reading!
And please pitch in, even if it's a sentence!
All best,
Deyan
