- tluyben2 10y agoNo, I believe so too. But then I also believe assembly, C and (at least on paper but if possible also for real) creating a computer from base logic gates (7400 series for instance; easy to get at yard sales) are important for beginners to understand what is going on. People who start at a very high level will take a very long time, if ever, to stop seeing the computer as a magic thing that 'does stuff somehow'.
- the_duke 10y agoNo, beginners should start just with the DOM, not with jQuery. That's how they actually get a feeling of what's underneath. The browser APIs have become a lot more consistent and useful (querySelector was a biggie), you really don't need jQuery at the beginning.
