Decided I do not want to do anything with C.

I have a Python background as well but I do not want to do anything with this as well.

Other than C & Python, I haven't learned any other languages.

I've played around briefly with Ionic framework (AngularJS) for mobile development and Spring/Hibernate/ Frameworks /w PostgresSQL



So looking for something helpful related to Angular/HTML5/CSS3 [FrontEnd] & Java [BackEnd] as I would like to do something either backend [Java] or frontend [JS] after I graduate.

Career wise, what do you think?

if you like javascript, you can use it for more than just front end, fyi. there are quite a few frameworks in nodejs for backend, and i use javascript for writing mobile apps via appcelerator. never heard of ionic framework.

as for front end, i'm guessing more people use jquery than angularjs, so i'd suggest adding that to your repertoire.

I'll dive into JS, got good set of tutorials/books for this?

what in particular?

codeacademy is ok for vanilla javascript, but they dont include the DOM iirc.

an angularjs intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXxyWlAWyM4

for jquery/node, i typically just google as i need for my purposes, so can't suggest much there.

carteblanche gave some really solid advice I just wanted to add if you're thinking of looking into [backend] web dev check out Scala and Play frameworks in general not just node.js. If nothing else it might just peak your interest. Cutting edge language, similar syntax to JS and scales with Java.

edit - my lousy grammar



yes I highly recommend: JavaScript and jQuery by Jon Duckett. It shouldn't be more than 20 bucks.

I'm glad to hear this. I'm in my final year of undergrad and I've only used (mostly) c++, some C#, and vb.net. I was starting to feel like school was a total waste of time, but I guess I've been given the tools to master this stuff myself.

I took several courses in C and it's BRUTAL. It made me NOT want to do programming for a solid 2 years. I didn't realize I loved programming again until I took a Java course.

You'll find a lot of people are migrating towards AngularJS. I've seen it more and more with angular and agile development. It's extremely easy to be agile with angular and their MVC framework. I'd work with that, protractor/jasmine for testing, and then learn some sort of server-side language such as Java/PHP.

This is exactly occurring now at my internship

yeah angularjs and mvc5 are really big can vouch this all day

lots of work for MVC specialists

learn the .NET framework all together and javascript and you should be fine for the rest of your life

maybe c++, i started learning it, seems easy

Oh man, I actually hated learning Java (it's one of my mainly used languages now though, go figure). It just seemed wordy and redundant, I definitely see why it makes a great first entry language though. I think more universities should focus on OOP concepts through Java.
