"Programming Isn’t Hard, It’s Just Frustrating – This is Why There is a Shortage of Programmers" I'm not sure your cargo-cult experiences with PHP qualify this blanket statement about the entire industry :|.

Unlike your peers, there is no precedence for you. There is no preconfigured direction for you. There is no magic set of courses to get you where you want to go. Don't be discouraged, this is a very very good thing. Reading Hacker News migh

I agree; the punches are pulled. 13 years in the industry here. Your ability to relate to, and communicate with, people in the real world (in depth) will degrade over time.

I use WPF regularly. Initially it seemed quite alien compared to the windows forms world I was used to. Once I got to know how it works on the inside, I fell in love with it. In my opinion it is elegant and well thought through.

The best advice I can give you is this: if you can't build it, you can't understand it. If you can't understand it, you can't rely on it. If you can't rely on it, it has no place in your application. In my experience, this is the most commo

Don't just learn; master. HTML, Javascript, and CSS are a given. You have to learn them. To be good, you have to know them like the back of your hand. You need to know how far you can take them before they break, which means you need to bre

Out of a random sample set of 1000 people, how many would want to buy trail-mix from the internet rather than pick it up at the store? Out of those, how many are likely to trust you with their credit card number? Out of those, how many woul

Users don't understand. Browsers are browsers, and for a vast majority of users, IE came with their machine. You aren't going to provoke thought, you'll just lose potential users. I can understand not supporting legacy IE. Not supporting mo

Yes, it's possible. I don't suggest it. The upside: you will develop the ability to create things that the communication barrier between excellent developers and excellent designers make very difficult. The downside: You will have to be an

Remember there is no one single right way to do anything. Don't accept everything you read as gospel, read it as suggestion and find your own way. There are many sorts of programmers out there, philosophically as well as functionally. Try o
