17

Many youngsters are trying to get a successful career in programming. But programming is not a small field, there are many sub parts in it which includes software development, game development machine learning, web development etc.

Now, the big question which arises in the mind of a newbie programmer is that Which is best: Web development or Software development? Some programmers also ask a question that which is best between game development and software development, but today we will clear your doubts regarding software development or web development only.

What’s your idea?

If you have an idea regarding a website or a blog then you should definitely choose web development as your career which will help you in both web designing and blogging.

On the other hand, if you have an idea regarding an app or any software then you should choose software development as your career.

Which is easy?

Nothing is easy or nothing is difficult in this world. As we have talked earlier that Idea is the first thing you should consider. If you have an idea related to a website then web development will be easy for you.

But it is not the answer to the question, which is easy? In a few words, we can tell that web development is easy than software development and difficult than software development. Let us explain it, front-end web development is easy than software development while back-end web development is too hard as compared to software development.

If you are a lover of creating logic then you will definitely love back-end web development as much you love software development. But if you are not good at logic but still want to make a career in programming then front-end web development is suitable for you.

Which is best career option?

Both web development and software development has a good career option. Every big company need web developers as well as a software developer, so You don’t have to worry about your future in these two fields.

From past few years, it has been noticed that web development has more success rate than software development. The reason for higher success rate in web development is that it is a little bit demanding. But competition in web development has been increasing drastically. Just Google “web developer in your locality” and “software developer in your locality”, You will find your answer.

In our opinion, back-end web development is a good choice if you are confused between the path of web development and software development and have no idea about both career options. But learning back-end web development without front-end is little bit difficult, so you should have a basic knowledge in front-end development before proceeding your career in back-end web development

Conclusion

Everything is all about your interest. Many ones like software development, many likes front-end web development or many ones like back-end web development. If you have believed in yourself that you will succeed in that field then no one can stop you. We hope that you will find your answer and now you can easily choose the best career option.

  2. You will surely get a job without any CS degree. Company like IBM initiated a HR program and hiring non graduates but look for highly skilled candidates in coding / programming. Pls go ahead without any 2nd thought.
