Sure. You spend a lot of time on iOS or Android languages but you always need to stay connected with the new tech. Today mobile apps take a more important place than website so logically so many technologies born in the same time. But personally I think it's important to keep working on your main techno/language

@Hizen For web dev example I keep working on php there are more advanced languages in the market now and sooner or later it will have less worth than other tech and similarly everyother day there's a new language in web and its difficult to learn each of them
but if we talk about android once can always stick to java and get expert in it -
weird question. web frontend is libs for javascript. As long as you know JS you will be ok. this is the same for android, as every year comes a new API from google + java derivatives like kotlin. apple has swift, and every 12 to 18, changes the basic lang and syntax, which can be very annouying...
my point being: it is the same thing, just different platfroms. -
@magicMirror Okay you made us count two languages only java/kotlin
While in web we have
-php
-ruby
-python
-nodE
-.net
-scala
etc etc
same goes with frontend, jquery in web is pretty basic now people are working on
-angular
-vieU
-react
-polymer
etc etc -
@rehman web devs don't need to know all those to be successful and several are just js frameworks so they're all based in js.
I do Android and iOS and need Java Kotlin xml swift and objective c plus occasionally other things. Some more than others but it's no different than web development really. Keep learning new things or get left behind quickly. -
@rehman
web dev does frontend. backend dev does server. wtf do you mean by "web dev"? -
@magicMirror I meant both frontend and backend dev, instead of writing these many keys I just wrote web dev
What only relying on JavaScript for HTML form input validation looks like

Alright I have a question for android/ios app dev, as being a web dev I see one has to do so much for tech stack as there are tons of web languages. And to keep themselves upto date according to the latest tech stack they have to learn new every day.
What about app devs you don't have so many languages like web do so can I say a person spending more time in one lang can learn it way better than web devs who have to look for the latest tech stack and start from the scratch?
