Solutions for Real World Frontend Problems.

Just One thing “JavaScript”

So I am a Web Developer, and like most of you, I know a bit of java, and PHP on the server side. A bit of CSS, html, javascript, and jQuery on the client side. Oracle and MySQL on the Database side. And this technology stack is never-ending. Every now and then you will have to learn something new. Some new frameworks may arrive. Some new Library or another cool language.

Now with this so demanding and challenging Market How does the idea of learning just one thing sounds?

What if all you have to learn and understand more or less is just one thing and become a master of it?

What if that one thing is javascript. ?  Yaa you heard me right.
“Javascript” – The same language you have been validating your forms with for Years.

Javascript is God

So if I have to write Server Side Code I will write something in Node.js
If I will have to make a wonderful frontend I will use SPA Frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.
If I need to go Mobile I will learn React Native, Flutter Ionic etc.

Wait Wait all that is fine but what about the database? You cannot do your databases in Javascript. That seems too much.

Ah well, I agree with that but have you heard of MongoDB? Now that is a NoSQL database and uses something called BSON to store the data. Now BSON is nothing new it is just a Binary form of JSON the javascript Object Notation. So again your data is saved as a javascript object.

With so much focus of Market leaders like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Yahoo! on these technologies and with the ever-growing demand for real-time Applications Javascript looks to be the future of the Web and is no more a toy language to validate your forms. I have started my journey to learning JS what are you waiting for?
