I think the only way to be close to an expert is to have total control over the web development process from start to finish, and re-use the same technologies that you have experience with. For example, if you've made 100 web apps in PHP and native JS, you will be much more productive and make higher quality software than someone who keeps jumping to new languages and frameworks.
- TheCapn 11y agoYeah, its an argument of Breadth vs. Depth of knowledge. An "expert" maintains a healthy portion of both.
- woah 11y agoYou may be more productive at making MySQL CRUD apps, but let's see you try to do anything streaming or real time or with frontend interactivity.
- serve_yay 11y agoStill, JS and CSS can be combined in novel ways to provide new experiences or new ways of doing old things. Plus there are new capabilities coming to JS all the time, things that literally weren't possible to do before. And smartphones and tablets are still somewhat new. So, OK, you can be an expert in building a website for desktop browsers. But that's about it.
