I've dabbled in several programming languages (HTML, CSS, Java, C++) over the years, and I had two questions.
The first, and I think I will probably get a lot of different answers, but which language gives you the most bang for your buck? Is there one that is absolutely worth taking a Udemy course and absorbing as much as you can? I was reading an old Graycode Gold thread that mentioned HTML, CSS and RoR. But what are you building with that? Don't you need Java these days for web?
Second question is what type of product gives the biggest chance to Fastlane? I know Fox is killing it with Web Design, but isn't that more a freelance job that he's made great by courses and consulting? Do you target web design, app development, or even more SaaS type websites? Is it better to learn front end or backend? I don't want to spend a ton of time learning backend to only be getting freelance jobs and basically creating another slowlane. Is there an area right now that demand is ramping up and has space for someone to learn and jump in?
This will probably get buried pretty quickly, but I just had my 4th FTE of my career today and I'm done. Enough excuses, I want to actually start something in the next couple of weeks, and I want to make sure it's at least in the semi correct direction. I know I'm going to have to spend a lot of time learning up front, so I want to do this sooner rather than later.
