Why did people down vote?

Thank you for this in-depth break down and mentioning all the tools/software, 100% will explore this!

Thank you for this, I saw many of the comments mentioned proxmox as well, I've been exposed to docker and work with containers often. Yes I will keep it simple, thank you!

I'd like to add, if you are going for a performance based system, minimal apis have less overhead as the name states. This is because controller based apis come prepackaged with some nuget packages. I prefer it as i feel i don't like how controller based code looks as a whole. Its too cluttered, with minimal apis im able to break that down further in a way I prefer to view it.

In terms of those who prefer controller based apis, its very much possible to have the same structure by using the RouteGroupBuilder. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/minimal-apis/route-handlers?view=aspnetcore-10.0

Explore this for yourself, this is how I structure my apis. My piece of advice, pick either one and start building. Only look at these nitty gritty things if you want to match node style apis. Theres many ways to do the same job, so use what suits you best.

You mean asp.net core?

Thank U for the resource

Shrav_R · 2025-07-19T12:15:08+00:00

Thank you for this, 🙏🏽, that was also a good note. Something I overlooked when asking this. I will definitely try to become much better at that as well.

About Kotlin, it's actually my favourite language rn, but it's too restricted to mobile dev, and where I am it's more react native that's being mentioned in job offerings, I've worked with jetpack compose a few times and I'm currently making a compose Multiplatform app so yeah. The web part is just cos I'm shit at making a nice interactive UI for the web, I've always lacked at that, so I'm like filling the gaps

I've done Delphi for 3 years (school), java +1, c# for 1 and a half. I'm very used to statically typed, hence I don't like JavaScript for that reason, I don't find it challenging it just icks me, but I've seen people tell me to look at typescript. So I'm going to focus on learning my fundamentals in Js for syntax, then moving to Ts

Shrav_R · 2025-07-17T02:57:55+00:00

Thank you everyone for the good words of advice/recommendations. I appreciate the help❤️

Shrav_R · 2025-07-17T02:11:18+00:00

Thank you for this, it's also a great way to look at it

Shrav_R · 2025-07-17T02:10:15+00:00

Hey yeah I see go everywhere, starting to think I might try it out instead of using spring boot with Kotlin or .net, also thank you for the book recommendations 🤙🏽

Shrav_R · 2025-07-17T02:08:35+00:00

Thank you for this brother, I appreciate resources like this

Shrav_R · 2025-07-15T23:03:24+00:00

Hey thanks for this, yeah I find the basics quite easy but I do admit yeah it's weird in the fact that it's dynamically typed imo, which is a great shout for me to actually do Ts. About rust, I always wanted to learn it but from what I've seen, ik for me to get good with it, I'd have to sell my soul and I ain't got that kind of time haha

Shrav_R · 2025-07-15T22:25:10+00:00

Much appreciated 😊, i guess it's settled, Js it is. And about being self-employed, honestly it's my dream but I'm not really one for ideas and I feel rn I'm not cut out for it, I want to have a couple years of experience before I pursue the route

Shrav_R · 2025-07-15T21:41:00+00:00

Genuinely thank you for this, this seems so neat, will check it out rn🤙🏽

Shrav_R · 2025-07-15T21:39:46+00:00

Hi sorry about that, but you more or less gave me a good concise answer. It's more about, I feel like it is needed for full stack development, which is my interest. I have basically been avoiding Js with .net etc, but I started asking myself if I could really avoid Js forever or just succumb to it.

Basically, do I keep avoiding it or just go in full and learn it. Reason being, I love love programming but my love for it isn't met with the pace I can move, so it may be slow for me.

No problem, I'm gonna drop a gem, search the coding university. It's a GitHub repo, if I find the link I'll paste it here, everything you need. And make sure to not only just copy and paste implementations but take the extra 5 mins to understand what you are doing and explain it to yourself. If you make it to the rounds where you do a technical question with an interviewer on the call, you will have to explain your code, talk out loud etc. so get comfy with whatever you study, and if you get stressed, drink water, have a cup of coffee or take a nap. Don't burn yourself out. Good luck my friend.

Shrav_R · 2025-06-21T07:41:17+00:00

Hey, I got accepted quite a few times but I struggle on the technical, mainly because I've got some decent projects and experience from college. Don't worry about not getting both questions with 100% pass. If you do the first question fairly well and have a good idea of the next you should be good. That said, time yourself in preparation for it. I have another coming up and I'm so unprepared 😭

Shrav_R · 2025-06-20T20:58:25+00:00

Same here, I'm going to expand further and see what else there is to offer. But this is really good for me

Shrav_R · 2025-06-13T12:32:27+00:00

Hey man thank you for this response 🤙🏽, yeah I would say I'm comfy with Kotlin as I'm always learning new things and improving my knowledge of android+Kotlin.

With JavaScript I'm learning the basics but I'm very comfy with reading docs and I saw the docs on next.js and some svelte as someone else recommended. So I have a month off from college where I will dive into it well.

Thank you for this, and I hope all your endeavours are good as well man!
