Does web developing much easier than software programming?

Answer 1

In my opinion, it depends... surely learn HTML is a lot easier than learn C++
But for programming (scripting) languages like PHP and Javascript, it depends on the context.
I mean, a sidebar is quite easy to do, but Javascript and PHP can be used for many things, in software development as well.
Take an example, is it easier make an RPG in Javascript or a calculator in Java?
Take an another example, is it easier make an RPG in Javascript or an RPG in Java?
So, i repeat, it depends on what you have to do, but generally all programming languages share the same logic with different behaviours. ;)

Answer 2

everything is easier when you grab the concepts and if you have a solid foundation then it's like a piece of cake rather..haha..but in my opinion software programming is easier :)

Answer 3

@Maz thanks for such a quick reply. It means that is created using Javascript, I thought that we have to use <sidebar> tag of html5

Never heard about a <sidebar> tag, maybe you meant <aside> but anyway, these tags have semantic values, there is no (as far as i know) native HTML tags to create a sidebar... but there is one for a dropdown menu: https://code.sololearn.com/WhS33fRY2V2u/?ref=app
I adapted that code, now it has -10 Javascript lines, definitely easier!
I noticed you are very good in Java, it seems strange you have problem with HTML and CSS, they are pretty easy.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Semantic value, Wikipedia's definition:
"Semantic HTML is the use of HTML markup to reinforce the semantics, or meaning, of the information in webpages and web applications rather than merely to define its presentation or look."
They are also used for the Search Engines, naturally... you might use the <div> without any particular issue in the content of your webpage.
Good luck and keep up your learning! ;)

See this code, this is just an example and surely accessible to beginners (i did not use any advanced Javascript properties/methods, just the basics)

Hope it helped you, if needed i'll add more comments ;)

Answer 7

@maz oh yes you got it right, it is aside and yes I can't remember html tags and css attributes. May be I have never practised them seriously but your work is really inspiring me to learn some web development also.

Answer 8

how about backend? much easier than software developing?

Answer 9

@Maz sorry for bothering you again, what is the purpose of sidebar tag of html5

Answer 10

I like HTML structure and for that it's easier, otherwise the object oriented programming language JavaScript is also unmistakable required in functional websites.

Answer 11

All I have to say is that it all depends on passion. When doing the things you always love to do, it doesn't seem difficult. Also in programming, good background is one the things that keep you going. Just get the logic and you're good within a little time
...Just like Joy Das has said.

Answer 16

First of all I think both are easy if you like that
you are asking for web development and software programming. Both are same thing only languages which is used for these is different . in both cases you have to facing complex programming. write code, give condition ,and many more. but logic which used in this will be same.

Answer 17

Dear Friend. Both technologies are same because logics are same only syntax is different.
if beginner level programmer wants to jump in coding then he/she would be start with php.
then move further with other languages and other web services with laibraries.
Moreover practise regularly makes perfect and advance.
Thanks.

Answer 18

Answer 20

In fact everything depends on the type of jobs and also lagging from person to person, but for me both are difficult all needs effort and concentration. But with the continuation we will get experience and professionalism.
