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