What do you suggest : leanring web development or computer programming ?

Hi , my question has two parts , first part is :


between software programming ( developing computer softwares ) and web developing .. what do you suggest to learn depending on :


* Time needed to master the chosen one.


* Market need for the chosen one.


* income expected from the chosen one.





Second part :


I really really LOVE web development , but I felt into this maze because I don't see much to expect from working as a web developer .. Do web developers work only on their computers !! or they have to attend a company at the early morning like all empolyees ..!!


the real question- for this part - is : what path should I follow to master web developing and related technologies ( like security , I think it can help ,and Oracle database ..etc %26lt;%26lt; important to answer please :) %26lt;%26lt; I meant , the related technologies )








Thank you !! :)

There's potentially more money in application programming than web-based programming. However, there are potentially more job opportunities in web-based programming.





I would say, maintain as wide a skillset as possible, but focus on what you prefer - seems to be web-based programming.





Good luck.
Reply:I would learn one first, in your case...I would get web design down. There are typically more web engineer/development jobs than software engineer. Either one can probably "work from home" but its up to the company, not you. Some of the main highlights of websites I have seen have utilized: php, sql, asp and so on. You dont see many company/corporate sites use just html anymore. HTML is almost a thing of the past as new features on the web start getting used.


I would then focus on software programming, depending on what language you are using (Im a VB guy), you can probably find something good job wise depending on what you use and your knowledge level. Sometimes you have to be able to make a software program access web databases so you need to know the both of best worlds!
