Hello friends. I need some help regarding approaching web development career. That's including web development and web design. What languages should I learn in order to take advantages over web developers in Malaysia? The languages that I have learned is HTML5, CSS3 and PHP. I need to some other languages that is not too hard to learn. I have a Diploma of Computer Engineering and a DKM of Computer Engineering (Diploma Kemahiran Malaysia). Should I pursue a Degree? What university offers the best web developing course? Also, at a reasonable price. I do make websites casually but still sometimes tends to forget the syntax. How do I remember all the syntax? I do need your opinions on web development. any tips would be great. Sorry for the broken english. Still improving a little bit. Thank you for you help and opinions.

Start with javascript fundamentals and then just dive into their frameworks, angular js, node js, express.. I self learn these technologies and have no IT related degree, went interview 2 times already since I started job hunting 2 weeks ago.

Most startup company don't even care about your degree, I'd suggest you to just enroll into some cheap online course at udemy... i personally learned a lot from here biggrin.gif

For me, don't bother too much about all the syntax, just understand the concept and the building blocks of the framework.

Now, hell known. Now Windows store apps Developer like fish out of water, really no people look for it....

Frameworks are all the rage now but native languages are still king. However IMHO, you should start with Java/JavaScript as it seems to be the building block of many frameworks. Syntax should not be a problem as you will unknowingly get a strong grasp on it just by looking at codes on a daily basis

I don't think you will really get to work alone in a company. Layout and flow will mostly be discussed in a team of with your supervisor

watch videos and code along... they will teach you how to setup the environment. As I said there are plenty of good courses at udemy.. go check it out and do some research

Its not exactly that old compared to the other languages commonly used on the web these days. Perhaps by a few years only. 1995 seems to be a magical year, where Php, Ruby, Java, Javascript, etc all saw their first versions. Python was only a bit older, having its first version released in 1991.

The difference is in the availability of the web frameworks in use. In fact, the Django framework (python) was released in the same year as Ruby on Rails. Attempting to use these languages without an available framework for an existing project is pretty much asking for trouble, unless you are definitely sure that you need to rewrite your own framework stack.

Go for degree only if you want to dive into how computers work fundamentally.
If you already have your mind set on Web Development, and just want to get started on *practical skills* instead of just bunch of computer theories, you can opt for web development bootcamps.

They are usually a 2~3 months full time course that teach you everything you need to know to become a fullstack web developer. I believe the best one in Malaysia is NEXT Academy.
