Soft Dev or Web Dev?

[larrysbird]

It really depends on what you like. Both are in demands and will always be in the future. If you like logic, system programming more then software development is for you. If you're more into business programming ( sales/web programming etc..) then I guess web development is for you.

ang web dev maoy gi apas sa mga dagko nga establishment karon gi pag migrate na man gani an mga karaan nga system nila to web,even me as software developer / programmer web na man jue, were using J2EE (Java Enterprose Edition) using Spring Architecture with Hibernate as ORM (Object Relational Mapping), and MySQL as database, ang nakanindot sa java kay free, ang pag study na lan, ang the most important of all ang LOGIC and ALGORITHM jud,ug wa na murag lisud jud bisag unsa pa imong katu-onon.

Strongly Disagree!

what do you exactly mean by migrating systems into web? even an ERP system runs only about 35% of its web frontend and backend but on top of the architecture is running under specific system that doesn't involve tiny part on WEB. There's a lot of disadvantage and RISK! when porting such system into WEB. Possible that they will extend their system into WEB capabilities like adding some remote site activity but not to the extend that they will replace their existing software after investing some $$$ and time?

I agree.

If you work in an outsourcing firm
you don't have a choice.
There's no "or" just "and"
soft and web
If there is no web project.
Then a web dev is useless.

Mas exciting ang hybrid software development and web development (web dev is a subset of software development anyway, but we'll assume that they're separate categories for the sake of our discussion hehe). You can do software development on the back-end side and web on the front-end side. I'm currently doing that, and I find it cool because it broadens my horizons...

[MarkCuering]

you can do both in web (front/back end).

Sa business application side.

Mas maayo ang software dev. you know why? Once ma suheto kana sa application(main core/back bone ), apil ang communications programming, dali na lang na web dev. kay kahibaw na man kag asa mag sikot2x.

- In business mas importanti gud ang backbone/back-end, mao nay kinabuhi. Kanang web app/other front-end application dependent na sila sa back-end. Patay na sila hasta ang operation kung patay ang back-end, pero kung front-end ang down, padayon ra gihapon ang back-end. daghan man klasi sa front-end application diba, usa na ang Web app, External devices(ATM/CDM/Passbook Printer, Credit Card, phone, barcode), desktop application.

-Again depende ni sa setup/nature ug kidag-on sa company/business.

Guys there's also this thing called Web Engineering or Software Engineering for web, Web has drastically evolved since before. So I guess it's synonymous to say Soft. Engr. can also be web
