"Writing lots of code? That's the easy way..." A web programmer skilled in programming itself, as the definition meant! One who considers the ability to create, provide, manage and modify - Websites, user interfaces and forms and many other skills to be taken for granted from someone calling himself a "programmer"! ### [ Ad ] Javascript + Node.js + JS expertise = cross-system (note: not just cross-browser) compatible software, capable of performing any task you need it to. A browser is present on virtually every human interfacing computer, with guaranteed support for a defined windowing environment interface (HTML & CSS), and programming language (Javascript; it has evolved beyond a scripting language now). That covers most applications, as well as the user interface for those requiring more access. For the back-end, needed only if you plan to access local files or other such tasks, Node.js has us covered. #########
