@Froot ah okay, is native android development not as popular?
I was just wondering if in general for the job market if it's normally roles that want software developers they also want some form of web development.
From my brief look into the australian job market when someone says they want a software developer they want someone with software development skills. (c++, c#, etc) not this hybrid, I don't mind being a hybrid of web and software skills though it seems like whatever job I apply for I get turned down without any real reason. -
@f03n1x It probably still is. There are just good alternatives these days, like react native, so native development isn't the only option anyway
Just applied to a new job with this as my cover letter.
Wish me luck!
Gotta question about the job market,
I'm having a very tough time getting a job, still jobless from when I quit my job awhile back, anyway all the jobs I look up that contain the words software/android/app/java developer seem to include web development skills.
Something of which I don't know much of, I wouldn't mind learning sure but for things like android development I can use Java just fine to create apps, yet the moment I start reading they want developers that know react.
Is this a normal thing? I can get to learning new languages and all but it'd be sad if my skills in Java for both software and app development are never used once I join that company.
Forgot to add this is for New Zealand job market, not sure it's normal for other countries.
