I love frontend better, because its more visual. You can express your artistic side. You can touch on design, animations, 3D. For those who are wondering wich path to choose, if you are more artisticly inclined, go for the frontend , and if you like more problem solving, logic go for backend.

[@metanoia6033]

Can totally relate. When I was doing fullstack before, there was a lot of resistance especailly that our task were more on the backend. The only reason I tried to convince myself to keep on doing fullstack is because I felt function is more important than design, and that somehow became my self-validation to society. But I wasn't happy doing all those functional backend stuff. I know things can work without aesthetics and probably, design is just going to be secondary, but I really feel alive using my artistic skills and I feel I can pour more of me here, so yeah, I'm going for frontend.

Hello Gyasi, I have a generic question. I have made a website which has a news section which needs to be updated weekly by a client. Would I create a backend with an Admin Login that leads to an Admin page which allows them to create 'news cards' that update the on the news section of the web page. Or I have to somehow attach my website to a CMS or re-create my website through a CMS , I'm really not sure what is generally done in this case? Thank you.

[@sadboiglizzy3000]

I, a 17-year-old, who is applying for colleges soon sort of feels the same way you described coding. I'm taking a full-stack web developer course and I'm enjoying it so far - I don't have a strong design background but I like the concept of building websites as I've done in WordPress and Webflow. But my question is, which major is more appropriate in terms of software development (CS vs Software Engineering)? I just want to make sure I make the right decision. Thanks.

[@nikitadziubenko4261]

i’d say they’re very similar but cs will be more theory while software engineering will be anchored towards actual coding

[@ayandak47]

Go for engineering

[@sponefromrainbow4869]

Both are same but I prefer the second one.

[@Valyssi]

Definitely software engineering for pretty much any 'practical' (i.e. industry) programming. CS is generally more aimed at research (although it will still be fine for industry as a lot of people take CS without the intention of staying in academia). Although if you're comparing between different institutes, CS may be better than SE since some institutes just have worse curriculums than others

If you have some exposure in high school, the college CS classes will definitely become easier for you. One thing about programmers is that the learning never stops. But Everything u need to help u learn is available online too. Don’t let ur age stop u from learning. At the same time tho, it’s perfectly ok to not have any programming knowledge prior to attending college! Most people are like that and the entry level Cs classes at college will teach u the fundamentals. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself
