Moving from mobile dev to Server dev - cloud?
-
Hi, I am a mainly C#/.Net/Vc++ etc etc developer, carrying around 12 years of exp. A lot of my work was related to mobile apps in eVC++ earlier and now in latest Windows platforms. I did some iOS work as well in between. But now the client side work has started to tire me out, mainly because I find myself battling with a lot of UI issues, and Framework limitations. The Projects are small and Need fast development, which does not provide depth in my work. I am getting inclined towards Server side Technologies, but having worked for sometime on Azure and a lot on SQL Server, I must say I was really not a fan of these tools. Moreover with Azure, I think you get stuck on a lot of Hardware related issues? Is that true ? I don't know a lot though. So I am pretty much confused right now, about what Kind of direction I should take? I am also thinking of plunging into Java world, mostly because I am really not excited about Microsoft Server side Technologies. Though it is a vague question, to give more insight into what Kind of work I like, I would say I am all for clean architecture, Patterns and practices and I would like to get into something that provides me more opportunity to design and implement a full Software System. Thanks a lot, Preea

As the old saying goes, life is what happens while you're making other plans. Reading your post, I get the feeling that you really don't like computer programming very much. You might discover that you're just as unhappy on the server side as on the UI. If all you've been doing is Microsoft, adding Java to your skill set is definitely a good idea. Or you could become a database guru. Or a cloud guru. Or a network guru. Take a look at coursera.org and udacity.com, and take an online course in something that you think might interest you. But also think about doing something completely different. Maybe you were meant to be a farmer.
