Software developer/engineer who works w/ websites/web applications.
> "Web development" is a hugely broad area. Personally I'd pick a relatively well-known one at random, but these days, I'd point people at modern JavaScript.
Being in a non-tech hub area, I don't know if there are a lot of jobs here for JavaScript in the backend. If there are a lot of JavaScript jobs in non-tech hub areas, I would probably go w/ it, since it seems like the easiest/simplest language. Job descriptions mention JavaScript but then there are many other languages also thrown in.
- davelnewton 10y agoIt turns out JavaScript is pretty popular on the front end as well.

- Onixelen 10y agoMy impression has been that back end pays more, that's why I was more inclined towards it. I don't think I would pursue my own startup, even though I said so above.
- davelnewton 10y agoThere's no "pays more, pays less" based on front-/back-end, there's only individual jobs. It totally depends on the market, the market in your area, your skills, the technologies involved, and you.
