| 1409375 | 2015-10-03 07:53:00 | Hi all, This evening I was thinking to myself the programming direction I should take in the future. I have grown to be familiar with Windows-context programming using C# and Java in the last 12 months. At present, I am developing a single-page application using AngularJS and NodeJS. In my opinion, web applications will grow in popularity as companies attempt to have one "universal" app without the need to develop multiple versions of the same program to run on different platforms (e.g. Apple, Android and Windows). What say you, PF1-ers? Cheers :) |

Anyways, the reason you want to try for an all in one is really to cut your workload down but until everything can work the same, you could be limiting yourself until that day. I'm still waiting for that level ground, its not here yet but its on its way. I'm not sure about C# but JAVA is a definite to have in your tool belt. Cheers, KK |

The reason I asked is because given the ubiquity of devices (both mobile and non-mobile), companies may try to look for a "universal solution" by encouraging web-app programming so that they can make do without multiple versions of the same app for the sake of Android / iOS / Windows compatibility. |

| 1409380 | 2015-10-03 22:46:00 | I thought you were a pharmacist? I am still a pharmacist who is pursuing a Grad Dip in IT at the local polytechnic, focusing on programming and database management. Short off transitioning into becoming a pharmacy owner or pursuing other areas of pharmacy, I feel that I have reached the peak of my career. While I am still relatively young (aka while the brain is still ticking), I am chasing after my inner passion of getting dirty with programming - and hopefully make a career out of it! :) |

| 1409382 | 2015-10-06 07:24:00 | I think you will find that there is no clear "this language is better than that language" answer. Fully functioning responsive websites have their benefits but they can have a few downsides as well. iPhone apps are good because they are quick and cost effective to build and iPhone owners tend to buy more online but Android has the bigger market share although their owners don't always spend as much via their apps. Some companies will consider it better value to get a mobile responsive website built, others will go for an app instead and some may cover all their bases because they can afford to. From a "learning to code" perspective , you can start from the web developers side to get an understanding and then move over to either objective-c/ swift or androids version of Java Either way, good luck in your venture. |

The thing with programming is, it changes. The future in programming will be something you haven't thought of, hasn't been invented yet and no-one is using yet. As it always is....look at the way it has gone so far. Not very helpful but people aren't that good at predicting the future. |

Not very helpful but people aren't that good at predicting the future. I agree with pctek, especially as you are now allowed to own as many pharmacies as you can afford. Much more interesting and satisfying, being involved with people, both staff and customers. Good profits too if you own in the right markets. |
