You can still write a web applications with just JS, some HTML (no css) and no familiarity with command line.
And you can write a frontend-only application with just html, css and js and nothing else, true.
Still, if you want to do anything more than writing something for yourself, you need all of that unfortunately.
- zabzonk 4y agowhy do you think that? i had, before retirement, been a professional programmer working for large businesses such as investment banks, and neither i or the people i worked with ever used html, js or css, or any other web technologies. the world my be wider than your experience of it.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 4y agoAll true I guess. I would still expect a vcs + command line familiarity and text editor for any developer a requirement. I would also be surprised if there wasn't an alternative for storage that needs to be learned, for another language. So even eliminating js, html and css, there is a UI toolkit of some sort to learn, a storage mechanism to learn. The layers are still there.
- Jtsummers 4y agoNo you don’t. Web programming is highly visible, but hardly essential to all programming or even the most useful systems.
