| I would recommend getting a macbook. Macbook air is enough power for web development. I was using windows learning rails and kept running in to issues that would require an hour or two of searching and work arounds to get what I was trying to do on windows. Most rails tutorials were on a mac back in the day. One night I had spent like two hours running in to issues on a tutorial. I decided to grab my wife's macbook, completed the tutorial in less time than I had been trying to troubleshoot issues on windows. Windows 10 is a little more developer friendly, but there is a reason developers use mac, it just works and typically saves time. So if you have access to one you can borrow I'd try it out. If you can snag a macbook air on sale it should be around $800, I think I got one for $650 once. If you only have access to windows it will work, I think it will be more of a headache, but definitely you can learn on windows, I'd recommend developing on a mac though. For any language (other than .net). If you haven't take a look at Rails or Laravel for developing web apps. Good luck. |
