Front end dev is make it look pretty and user friendly. Back end is all the slave work where craziness happens that you never see.

We skipped that step by making me, the host, the back end manager. Shit's going wrong in the front? Now you're in charge of both houses.

I started in C++. It's great if you want to learn the bare bones of what the computer does. But expect a long learning curve.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

You mean C is great for that. C++ tries too hard to not be C while not not being C.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's called C++ because there is some great new version of C somewhere in memory, but this isn't it. Learn regular old C instead. Trust me.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Just learn C, then use the .cpp suffix in case somebody wants to check up on you.

Yeah, a lot of banks and government systems have key items in COBOL that they can't bring over in new programs so it's still in demand

Front end will probably be more rewarding if you like visual creativity. But, if you're really into string-parsing, try back-end.

A lot of what you do on the backend is verifying and grooming data sent by the user. It's considered tedious and nobody likes doing it.

Put together a deep “stack”. Pick a DB language (NoSQL varieties and Postgres are hot atm), scripting language (Python/JS), and html/css 1/2
