[nfbcs] choosing a specialization within CS

[Dan JanJanin]

If web development is your interest then I would pursue it.  

If your concerned about losing what vision you've got left, I would suggest
looking into server-side technologies, rather than client-side.  But it's
always good to know something about HTML and Javascript.  In my experience,
employers are looking for "jacks-of-all-trades" rather than specialists,
unless the specialization is hightly technical.

I live in MS's backyard so there's a lot of C# development in this area.
But that may not be the case for you.  Learn what is valuable where you
live.

Subject: [nfbcs] choosing a specialization within CS

I currently work in enterprise technical support management. I've always had
an interest in software development, and am intending to learn to program in
order to diversify my skill set a little bit.

I had been working through freecodecamp before I found out I was losing my
vision to RP as web development is very big in my local job market. I am
wondering now if web development as a specialization still makes sense or if
I should focus on a different programming language, like C# (since I hear
Visual Studio is more accessible than most IDEs). My central vision still
works but I don't want to count on that for my professional future, and I'm
dealing with some eye fatigue issues that is motivating me to learn JAWS
asap.

Is there any particular programming specialization that is more or less
accessible than others? My current role I can do without vision, but I still
want to learn to program.

Ryan
