Think I'm gonna stick to front end web developing. Learning Back End too feels impossible to master. Just trying to master JavaScript alone is

I commend brehs that can learn and master multiple languages...

You don't need to master the backend, you just have to be knowledgeable.

I'm getting python down a bit, no too bad and not too hard so far but I'm starting off.

Taking the CCNA on the 18th...

Can I ask what's the easiest entry into a job with programming (CCNA and S+)

I know some dudes write basic scripts for network automation but I don't know what these positions are called.

I'm hitting up some agencies after this test is done.

Programming fits me since I'm on the PC all day anyway and I don't have to communicate much like that, less stress than dealing with them people.

Same. I feel like all the time spent learning more languages is time that could be spent perfecting the stuff I already know...

what is the best tool to create a personal website/blog the fastest using python?

I want to start getting into web development as side hustle. im seeing a lot opportunities I could take advantage of.

You use Javascript/Html/Css to build the frontend of the website. Could use Flask/Django for the backend of the website.

Has anyone written their own tutorials or trivial examples on tech they work with? I keep grappling with whether or not I should because there's about a billion such examples already out in the wild.

Copy and paste, then.

Decided randomly today that I will use Bootstrap 5 for the website I'm working on. Short term, the shyt is going to potentially break repeatedly until a stable version is released, but I think that the lack of reliance on jQuery as well as the modern buttons and customization ability will be worth it in the long run.

Typically I used a CDN for Bootstrap but I am using NPM this time around. I looked at a few videos of people using bootstrap thru npm & almost everyone installed gulp. Can someone drop some knowledge on gulp for me?

Right now, my understanding is that it is live server capabilities (a la nodemon) and that it automatically minifies code. Is that the gist of it... so it is efficient but not mandatory? Just curious to make sure it is worthwhile before I dig into the gulp more

but I think that the lack of reliance on jQuery

Then how it is doing the magic if not for jQuery? Straight up javascript?
