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?

    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 ?

      Idk why you are discarding python for the reason that makes python the best option. If there is a programming language that a non-programmer should know, it’s python.

      That’s an even better reason to pick Python, then.

      If that’s the case C is the very first thing they should avoid spending time on.
