I'm done, really need to learn how to develop.
Hey everyone, I could use some help and guidance.
I'm a computer science student with a background in C++, Rust, and Python, mainly focused on cybersecurity. However, I've realized I need to broaden my skills and learn modern web/app development.
I've tried my hand at Python's Django framework and Rust's egui library, but struggled to grasp the concepts of actual development. Despite these attempts, I feel like I'm missing the fundamentals of building real-world applications. After hearing about TypeScript, I've decided to give it a shot and learn development in a more conventional way.
The challenge is, the internet is flooded with frameworks, dev stacks, and tools, making the learning process daunting. I'm looking for:
1. Recommended resources for learning TypeScript and modern web development
2. Suggestions for a beginner-friendly development stack
3. Advice on development methodologies and best practices
4. Tips on how to approach learning without getting lost in the vast ecosystem
5. Insights on transitioning from systems programming/cybersecurity to web/app development
Any guidance, resources, or personal experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. How did you navigate this learning curve? What do you wish you knew when you started?
Thanks in advance for your help!
