Hello,

I am thinking about teaching my students JavaScript first so that they can start creating websites and make their career, what are your thoughts?

Why not python? C needs constant memory management and JavaScript is too chaotic. Both seem to me a bit too complicated for someone just starting

The main reason to not including python is that students aren't particularly in the CS field, they are learning it as their "augmented skill" (I don't know what it's called bad English). That's why I don't want to force them to learn CS concept which they might not even need.

I was thinking about C so that their fundamentals gets cleared but I think it will be too much for students who aren't into CS. What do you think ?

@ghodawalaaman @greenashura C# can be challenging for new coders and junior devs C# is very like Java but many game companies prefer C#
