# Web Development - The Beginnings Of An Alternate Career??

Before getting any further, some background .. Firstly by no means am I a ***'Web Developer' *** in the sense of this being my primary career. However I am hoping to make this part of a side hustle, to take me away from my primary job as a DevOps Engineer / Systems Engineer.

Now that is out of the way, lets go through *Web Development* Experience.

****Web Development Experience:****

After trying out [VueJS ](https://vuejs.org/) and [React](https://reactjs.org/), I decided VueJS would be better for me as I got to grips with it easier and quicker than I did with React.

## VueJS - Frameworks

Framework wise, I have tried a few of the common VueJS support frameworks which are listed below:

- [NuxtJS](https://nuxtjs.org/)

- [Gridsome](https://gridsome.org/)  

- [Bootstrap Vue](https://bootstrap-vue.org/) 

- [Vuetify](https://vuetifyjs.com/en/) 

After trying the frameworks about, I've decided that NuxtJs is my go to for any Vue base project that I am attempting / creating.
This isn't for any specific reason at all and is primarily because its a framework that I feel comfortable with and used more than any of the others listed above.

## Away from Vue & Frameworks

I was recently introduced and switched over to [Svelte](https://svelte.dev/) instead of using VueJS and NuxtJS.

This was because of being lost / distracted by the features that are offered in NuxtJS and these not being relevant to the projects that I am currently undertaking.

Svelte is primarily a CSS & HTML based static generator for websites. However also has the ability and support for Dynamic Sites depending on its configuration. There is also the option for Typescript support as well.

## Progression

For my personal progression, I've made the decision to invest time into learning the following languages / frameworks. This is primarily on the understanding that I have the time available and/or the requirement for this within a current project.

1.  [TypeScript ](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) as and when time allows for this.

1.  [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) which is currently used as the web development framework at work.

1. [React](https://reactjs.org/) - giving this another go, and seeing if i still run into the same / similar issue that I did when i first started down this path of Web Development.

Only Time Will Tell .. May also update this on another post in a few months, or whenever the need for writing about this topic again appears.....
