Javascript. I didn't exactly pick it, it's just what most full-stack courses offered. Having had to drag myself through learning Java a decade ago, I'm definitely having an easier time learning JS and I'm absolutely loving React. As a career-changer into tech, I think it's really important to see what's in demand for the jobs you want and to deep-dive into at least one. As the graphic above shows, JS seems like a smart choice!

Woot! I am in the JavaScript Advocacy team at Microsoft so I am definitely biased. This is amazing! What are you currently building with React? Have you tried Remix? Love that you are a career-changer. If you wrote up your experiences do share them with us!
