Introduction to Programming

Before you dive into any of the paths, you should have a solid foundation in programming. For new developers, I highly recommend learning JavaScript as your first language. JS can be used for both frontend and backend developers which means you can become a fullstack developer while being able to focus on mastering only one language. The benefits of JavaScript are:

1. JavaScript is a relatively easy language to learn
2. JavaScript is required to build web applications since it is the programming language that runs in the browser
3. JavaScript can be used on the frontend and the backend, allowing you to write full-stack applications with a single language
4. There are tons of jobs for JavaScript developers
