Hi all
I'm currently retraining as a C#.NET dev, 32 years old.
Just over a year's experience so still in a junior role but hoping to become a contractor in years to come.
I work for a small firm and I've been concentrating on specialising in C#.NET, WPF & SQL server to be precise so all desktop based development.
My boss is now trying to steer me towards a web based project using Javascript & HTML5.
Now, I don't want to end up as a 'jack of all trades', 6 months here & there in with various languages & API's, I'd rather become a specialist in the one area, preferably .NET as I already have a year's experience and the .NET market looks buoyant, both perm and contracting.
Looking towards the future and eventually contracting, would it be beneficial for me to take on the web based JS project in order to gain some web experience or am I better off sticking with .NET and really focusing on specialising even though it would limit me to desktop app development?
Cheers,
Tom
