Ask HN: How to learn web development as a firmware developer?

by hahnchen on 3/2/24, 9:20 PM with 2 comments

I write C/C++ at my job where I develop firmware but I want to be able to quickly make useful/interactive web apps so I can charge people to use them. Which framework would you recommend to get started?

A lot of the discussion I've seen online is about how "lightweight" a framework is. I don't really care about that I just want to be able to learn and iterate quickly.

    If you're more accustomed to backend, perhaps you can try first to use the "all-in-one" Python frameworks like streamlit, Panel, etc

    Then if that's not enough you can take a look at something like Django (if you want to continue Python) or Expressjs / Nextjs (if leaning towards Typescript)
