Usefullness of Web Development in Applied Mathematics

Click For Summary
Web development can be a valuable skill for a career in applied mathematics, offering practical applications and enhancing employability. While some view it as less relevant to mathematics, it can provide useful tools for presenting data and developing projects. However, many suggest that web development can be learned for free through platforms like Codecademy and Coursera, making formal programs potentially unnecessary unless one seeks networking and career resources that come with enrollment. Overall, the decision to pursue web development should consider personal interests and career goals rather than just financial investment.

Hello. Would web development be useful towards my career in applied mathematics ?

The full story: I'm starting my MS in applied mathematics in one year. I would like to pick up a skill that would be useful to my career. I came across this program and seems quite interesting: https://generalassemb.ly/education/web-development-immersive
I'm just afraid it would be a waste of time and money.

Cheers.

I think it's potentially useful, but I don't see why you'd spend money on it, unless you have lots to burn. It's fairly easy to learn for free. Try codecademy to start off with and there's some stuff on Coursera. I suppose some people might see web development as sort of frivolous stuff that mathematicians shouldn't concern themselves with, but there are uses for it.
 
There are perks for enrolling, particularly benefiting from their career resources and networking opportunities.
 

Thread 'Pre-req for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?)'

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
