What language are you thinking about to use as you learn?

Hi Stargazer,

My main focus is React. I'm committing to a minimum of 30 minutes each day, which often turns into hours :)
I'm finding it tricky piecing together everything, especially trying to separate code so it's not a complete mess!

Any tips or advice? Or anything I can help with?

Hmm I wouldn’t think of JS frameworks as ckmputer science, is this more of a software development course than CS specifically?

Definitely interesting either way!

When I was teaching, it was to the UK national curriculum. The students used Python as the main language because the syntax is so readable!

I'm personally learning React (as a way of learning JavaScript more deeply), albeit it quite slowly!
