Web development or software development?

Question

Wanted to ask opinions here. I'm kind of a beginner having an okay understanding in html, css and a beginner understanding in javascript, c#, c++ and python. I started working with PHP now because I really like it, but I don't really know which one is more future proof. I want to make apps (made some basic form applications already), but I like web as well. Which is more worth/future proof?

Answer 2

Well web standards change quite a lot. PHP is more for backend (AFAIK) whereas HTML+CSS+JS make most of the kickass web of today. I have no clue what this future holds.

Python is hot right now, but it could be a bubble. It's definitely not leaving any time soon.

C++ has a long lineage and is the language of the gaming industry. The majority of software is still written in part or whole in C++.

C# is an MS Frankenstein reinventing several wheels. Right now it still doesn't play perfect on Linux.

If I had to choose C++. In fact I did. But it's a light sabre of languages: powerful and hard to use if you're not a Jedi. Ultimately, choose your own path, you must.

PHP

C++
syntactic sugar ++ it remains preffered for mamoth jobs

Answer 4

Thanks for your opinions. In this case I'll stick to applications and game development rather than web, but I think C# and Unity will be good for me now since I find advanced C++ a bit hard now. Thanks again, hace a nice day! :D
