Hello, I am interested in establishing a career as a WEB DEVELOPER and I am looking for advice. I have noticed that on every job board is MS Web Development with the ASP.NET Framework using various languages.
What is the best way to learn, online by yourself, tech schooling, or the regular IT degree from a 4 year college.
I have seen requirements for a Computer Science Degree, but isn't a Computer Info Systems degree close enough, or maybe a tech school that teaches programming and databases.
I really dont think its as difficult as people make it out to be, I have worked with Visual Studio and building test apps for fun.
What would be the best route to take, but also the quickest and cheapest, I am willing to work anywhere to start, and I already have 2 yrs of college, but dont know quite how to transition into this.
I believe WEB APP DEV is a part of every corporation, and everything will continue to push towards the web with software development
Any thoughts from professionals.

Radio/TV stations & Web Development Jobs/Careers?
Looking for some insight on the radio industry and the station websites.
I have seen some radio companies post jobs for on-air dj and a webmaster in one position,
is this a career or just a job for a student.
Every station has their own website thats uppdated daily, so thats where the web design/graphic/design/coding come in play, but how can you do both, and if so how much will they pay you?
Seems to me thats a pretty stable job, just announce whats going on on air daily and update it online,
Also are they're other web development/IT/graphic design positions in the radio industry , maybe even the TV industry.
These sites are updated daily by someone, but no one really thinks about working for a radio or TV station when in school, usually only the big stale corporations.
Radio and TV will never go away, and the online presence just supports them.
Any thoughts or people working in new media within the radio/TV field would be helpful
Thanks

Radio/TV stations %26amp; Web Development Jobs/Careers?
I'd say go for it, but don't be shocked by the low pay and the long hours when your first start out. You may also be working weekends, holidays, or overnights. You also can be fired for most any reason...from being 'smarter' than your boss, to blowing a big posting, to trying to hit on the receptionist. I've also heard, and seen people canned for everthing from pronouncing something wrong on the air, to rival stations hiring someone away from a station...after getting them fired or blackballed. It is a cutthroat business.
If you really want to get a good idea, get cleaned up, and set an appointment to check out a tv or radio station. Ask the receptionist, or HR person if there is someone who could give you a tour. Broadcasting or Journalism may have 'new media' but still has 'old school rules'...meaning, you pay your dues, regardless of race, color or creed.
It 'seems' easy...until you have to do it. Then, you get amazed at how much coordination it takes to write, or even cover a news story. Even those in 'new media' have to have the same instincts of regular news folks when they put stuff on line.
However, its something that you have to experience...and, to me, if you are young, you should go for your dreams. If you don't, you'll kick yourself on down the road for not attempting it.

World Record in Web Development?
Is it a record ? Is it world record in web development ?
Aayushman Sharma 12 years old has made a website www.EngineersDay.info in record time of 12 minutes total time i.e. time from domain registration, hosting, setting a database website and first message post.
World Record in Web Development?
What a load of rubbish.
That isn't building a website, that's just using other peoples tools to get a web presence.
Where did a 12 year old get a credit card from to register the domain name?
Reply:I don't know if it's a world record, but if you use a good hosting site, anyone should be able to do that with a bit of practice I would think.

Degree Question about Web Development?
As such no degree is required to become a Web Developer or Web Designer. You should have good knowledge of related technologies.
For web designing, you should have good knowledge of various designing softwares like flash, dreamweaver, macromedia, animation etc
For web development you should know programming language like php, dot net or java along with database like oracle,mysql,sql-server,msaccess etc..
In addition to above you should have good analytical skills too..
But reputed companies do prefer a candidate with a bachelor or masters degree in computer or engineering.....
Reply:depends on your college, but a degree in art would be enough. Specialize in design elements or publication.

Urgent help about ASP.NET or WEB DEVELOPMENT?
have been debating myself on how %26amp; where to start?
I am 49 years old and I need to start where I can get a job
quickly. I check Linux/Unix well they all require 4 to 6 years of experience in order to consider you. Meaning if I learn linux nobody will hire me. I look at SQL Server DBa same thing , even if I get a certifications my chances at 49 without any experience are slim to get into that field. I was thinking about ASP.NET and the Web Development in general. What do you guys will recommend me to at least get my feet into the field?? After that I will learn more but I need to get in. Thanks for your recommendations guys.
Urgent help about ASP.NET or WEB DEVELOPMENT?
I would suggest ASP .NET, PHP, and ColdFusion. I am a certified ColdFusion developer. As much as I hate to admit it, ASP .NET and PHP are more popular than ColdFusion these days. So, you can try ASP .NET and PHP.
Once you have learned enough of these skills, you can go to some freelance web project web site like www.guru.com and try to do some project as a test to your own skill. At the same time, you can also go look for a job. This way, you will have some income by doing freelance jobs while waiting for a permanent job.

Reply:Start here.
Start with html
Then JavaScript.
You can do visual basic (VBScript) too but I consider it old hat. It is used though.
The rest is up to you.
Reply:I suggest that you start web developing with ASP.NET 2.0. Remember that I mentioned .net 2.0, because Microsoft has made it very very easy for developers to learn and use it in order to design and develop professional web sites. Using this technology, web app development needs less coding and is more fun. Even working with Data has become extremely fine and DEVELOPER-FRIENDLY!! Don't miss the chance.

What's your website URL so we can examine your SEO metatags which if correctly placed will elevate your website into higher rankings on major search engines and bring more clients.
Reply:here's what I did:
1: Gogle Ad-words. seriously. it costs, but it's worth it.
2: put your site on your bussness cards. Don't have any? use http://www.vistaprint.com
3: throw it all over the internet. Heck, I work as a computer tech and I throw out my site, http://www.compdoc-online.com out all over the place ^_^

Reply:First, you need to submit your site to google, so that it does get indexed. Then you might look into purchasing some adwords from google, or any other type of advertisement site. Post your website on your business cards, and/or try to get some local advertisement such as newspapers and local publications. Make some promotional materials advertising your website, keychains, pins, t-shirts, etc. Before you do this, though, make sure that your website is organized and that you have some interesting content for your visitors. Your first impression will have to be outstanding because you are competing with some really big firms out there.
