It was really awesome, when I discovered Dreamweavers dynamic templating, because at that time, I had no clue how to get PHP and MySQl to work. Now that I know everything about PHP and MySQL I have a hard time understanding node.js (beside grunt) etc.
- hluska 8y agoI had managed to forget the hell that was GoLive. Fuck you!!! :) (I kid) I had a hard time understanding node.js too. I'm old enough that I remember when jQuery was revolutionary and it really hurt my JavaScript for awhile. Then, I built something non trivial in vanilla ES5 and now, I'm okay with node. I still don't always understand the ecosystem, but the JavaScript community is not for mere mortals like me to understand! The point is, there's hope, if you want there to be hope. Otherwise, PHP and MySQL are very useful, so if you're happy where you are, you've got a good set of tools behind you. Keep having fun!
