Next year we start web developing in school. Everybody seems to despise it, but since I do not have much experience: Is it really that terrible developing for the www?

    Absolutely not, but the CSS in advanced sites can get tricky. HTML is actually quite simple, and javascript can be loads of fun, starting out as easy as you want or going really deep. Backend development is also really enjoyable, especially if you get to do more than just CRUD operations against a DB. Good luck!

    @Hakash Then I'll be looking forward to this. Hopefully the teacher at explaining like he always does :/

    @Awlex I also hope the teacher is worth his salt and can present it with relevant and engaging examples. I would recommend taking a peek at http://codeschool.com similar sites. To hone your skills even further I can suggest http://codewars.com as well.

    @Hakash My teacher is like:"Okay, now we discuss what each atom of this cable does, but lets skip the important basics, because you know them." *explains halfway through* "By the way, this is the xy cable" *explains unimportant and partly wrong stuff*.

    He pulled this off without telling us where this cable can be used.

    I appreciate the sites you have provided. Gonna get started with this instead of my teachers 'exercises'.

    @Awlex I feel for you dude, bad teachers kill engagement, but it sounds like you will get enough material for a stressball eventually 😉

    @Hakash It's not that awful, since there's always a teacher, whom you can compare to Dennis Ritchie, in the same room.

    @g-m-f I believe most of them died under the weight of the new frameworks that appear daily.

    WebDev is awesome, the only annoying thing that makes it hard on the professional level is the amount of frameworks and stacks.

    @Awlex If they put a Ritchie in the room then the Ritchie should teach 😉

    The good news is there are a million resources online and many stackoverflow questions already asked. It's a huge community, so as long as you're interested you can explore whatever your prof doesn't explain well

    Web development is actually very very easy. Learning CSS too is pretty easy however managing it might take some time and skill.

    What I can tell you with personal experience and being an all time web developer is that it's easy money, very very easy money
