"I want to study oncology" - On the biological side? Go learn biology. On the ML research side? Go learn basic python syntax before trying to train a neural network. I usually see 3 categories: - I want to learn Web Development. - I want to learn Web Development, but in all actuality I'm going to quit in 3 days. - I want to learn Web Development, but in all actuality I just want something working with no effort. None of these need an informed decision. The latter 2 don't matter anyway, and the first one is better off starting with a vanilla ajax request[0], and they likely know it. When it comes down to it, "I'm going to make an app today" means your decision likely doesn't have long-term consequences and an informed decision isn't all that important. Pick up jquery like the other 80% of the living internet[1].
