How To Become A Web Developer - WIMP
Channel: WIMP: Web and Interactive Media Professionals
Date: 28/05/2015

Josh Simmons, community manager at O'Reilly Media, talks about getting started as a web developer, and how best to enter the industry and get started.

The Web has become the de facto storefront online, beating out a litany of competing technologies, and many desktop and mobile applications rely on a Web-based back-end.

While the Web is only getting more complex, the fundamentals remain the same. In this talk, Josh will outline core concepts and technologies as well as the choices we face including:

• which languages to use 

• when to use a framework or a content management system 

• how to specialize in a saturated industry

And more!
