Too many companies get stuck with expert beginners in lead positions. I wonder how many of those companies have actual hope for change.

SO many shops just adopt Redis as a cache store after seeing the benchmarks and local tests. This needs some more attention. I have seen a few systems crash and burn from bad implementation of a caching layer.

This is phenominal. I wish I got moving as early as this kid. Watch him for big things.

I have been able to combine basically any framework or library with angular for DOM manipulation and other related tasks. You just need to wrap the libraries with angular, which is fairly trivial to do for your selected subset of functionality.

Either demand will explode again, or there won't be much new adoption outside of proof of concept projects. They basically will be losing much of the continuity other frameworks have.

I personally/professionally will consider using CanJs and EmberJs from now on.

I agree with it in terms of generally desired skill sets. Angular rose to prominence very quickly and Node has had a very steady grassroots climb. Backbone has been on the decline for a while now. I don't think React has the klout to really become a commonplace skill. We will see what happens with Angular after 2.0 though.

These are actually really good bits of advice.

I definitely do not have the level of experience that you have so take this with a grain of salt. I have seen and worked in a lot of companies that have a very heavy portion of their code base in web forms. Many of these companies have been working to transition to MVC but it takes a longer time the larger your legacy beast is.

I would suggest finding a job where you can leverage your experience in .NET Web Forms, while picking up the pedigree for MVC.
