Have we misunderstood each other? I'm talking about teaching web fundamentals to absolute beginners, not people who are already programmers or CS graduates. In terms of content think starting with something of this scope: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_start... and then building on that. The fundamentals are clearer and more accessible to teach than frameworks. This inspires confidence and I'm pretty sure you won't save any time if you jump ahead and teach React and especially Graphql. You have a _way_ better foundation to learn and use React if you know HTML, CSS, JS, HTTP that I mentioned but also browser dev tools and I would even put git before that. Also people who are already professionals in some field close to web dev will ask fundamental questions, they want to understand things. Learning framework X is a piece of cake if you at least roughly understand how it works and aren't on completely shaky grounds, and when framework Y comes along you can ask the right questions right away. The _vast_ majority of web development doesn't use React or Graphql anyway. I don't even know a single dev who knows React and Graphql but cannot make a website without them or doesn't know what DNS is, what common HTTP headers mean or don't know how to center a div.
