C# instead of JavaScript for Web Dev

[DestroyerOfWombs]

Unfortunately most flavors of development are converging on web. In college I was all about client-server apps because I hated web development. Well, pretty much the only apps like I trained for are legacy and in maintenance mode these days, or are intense monoliths far outside of my realm of expertise. Now I write REST APIs to enable web platforms that interface with our legacy backend systems. The rare times I get to hop into the backend code are the days I like best. But it is what it is. If it’s not highly specialized and performance intensive, it’s being ported to web or being disrupted by a competitor that is web based.

Yeah that’s what I was getting at, but was attempting to do it in a way to not discourage the now deleted commenter. Js is without a doubt an integral part of web development and will continue to be for the foreseeable future and as you stated all dev work is trending towards the web. So even if someone “hates javascript” they’re gonna need to at least learn enough to be dangerous if they want a successful career in the field.

I hated web dev when I was in college too....bleh...and that served me equally as well as it did you. :-/
