is it worth learning web development int 2018 ?
front-end, back-end or full stack ?

Learn comp sci and core principles (algorithms, data structures, etc). Then move to machine learning.
Web dev will get you a job for the next few years but the semantic gap is quickly closing and AI will bring super powers.

i am already in Computer science, thinking about specializing in Web Dev, but wanted to heard user's opinions of getting job versus other sectors in IT

no its poo in loo tier

Full stack is best as it makes you most versatile and adaptable

most money is in bank programming jobs, web is mid-range

Awesome, just move straight to ML then. Deep networks are already replacing core algorithms and it's just getting started.

Web app development is where the jobs are.

Most money is not selling your time for cash. Build cumulative value.

This is true. If you have the math smarts, ML is a good field to get into.

sorry I though answering ops question would be a good response

Machine learning is mostly statistics

The reason I like being full stack is that if I have an idea for a business or way of making money I can implement it without anyone's help.

It was a good answer but it's also setting him up to be a wagecuck.

will research into it as i have zero experience with ML
so if i choose web dev, i focus mostly on Javascript ?

Javascript is a language used both in front-end and back-end such as in Node. Hell, even Holochain will allow Javascript.

What I mean by this is becoming proficient in Javascript is good idea regardless of what you want to do

also don't want to wagecuck myself, thought web dev is somehow manageable

Full-Stack is the most straightforward path towards self-employment

this is what i wanted to hear, thanks for the input, have some web bootcamp from udemy guess it's a good start for full stack

back-end specailizing used to be better for the long term, but full stack is more important now because of the complexity of some front-end integration and a lot of the standarization of web stuff being solidified.
Just get real good with JS and doors will open. Stay current with popular server side processes.
I ended up using JS way more than I ever imagined I would. I started more back-end oriented roughly 10 yrs ago and now do dev for both. It also makes the work a hell of a lot more interesting.

Leverage my friend.
Dont trade your time.
Multiply yourself and scale.
Your time is very valuable and limited.
Find your vision and leverage others time, money, skills and resources to get things done.
You can not learn everything.
I am an software engineer for 15 years, trust me. These things fet outdated very quickly. One user mentioned above about AI. He is right. AI will take all our jobs. Even software engineering. So if you want to prepare yourself for the next decades, then you need to be in a field which AI can not do well. Think about it.

what would that be

Tell that to the company that just offered me six figures you absolute brainlet. What do you do, write embedded software for microwaves?

Full stack is a must if you want to make real money in this space. Just master ES6 and Spring Boot and you got your foot in the door almost anywhere.

1. Keyword is “leverage”.
2. Learn how to learn first.
You dont know what you dont know. Find out what you dont know.

3. Apply first principles thinking.
4. Find your mission of life and follow your dreams rather than spending your valuable time in learning something that is popular or is in demand now. Prepare for your future.
5. Ask questions

The list are too many.

Well it's tough because you need to put food on the table. I really interested in robots but need to basically get a webdev job to at least be somewhat involved with code. Then from there hopefully save up for some robot arms

Yes, putting food on the table is the tough one especially if you have family and kids. So apart from your wellness and safety, all your time should be spent on being financially independently financially(dont buy bit connect however).

What i am saying is most if the people spent their creative working life in following the norm. Think outside the blocks(pun intended) and dont try to reinvent the wheel. Leverage on other people success to achieve your dream. You will reach there faster.

This user speaks from experience.
I didn't follow his advice in my 20s and am trying to desperately make things up in my 30s.
The companies I sacrificed my 20s for that did succeed gave me nothing of the success but a token salary. Many failed.

What languages/frameworks should I be learning for web development? Just graduated with a chemical engineering degree but want to move into tech because zero chem eng jobs around.

I started with freeCodeCamp and just about to start the intermediate projects. Where do I go from here to become hireable as soon as possible?

Most of these languages and frameworks will be overshadowed by new ones in few years especially in the age of AI and decentralization . Learn the fundamentals that last for decades

Unsupervised learning techniques, specifically GANs, is starting to eat the ML field. They are also fun. I recommend starting there.
Also Ian Goodfellow's deep learning book is invaluable.

Yes

Yes, and move to whatever city in your country pays the most. For UK that’s London, and it’s not too hard to get a £100k+ job in a late stage startup or tech company (not necessarily finance) as a senior or principal engineer if you know what you are doing

You’ll get the most money if you can lead people, projects etc. Make things happen; and make other people around you better. Yes this will require normie skills. Don’t try to make it as a pure code monkey.
