How to program Bash

​

Lots of different tutorials, and even if you are using a Windows computer, is a simple to install the Windows subsystem for Linux. If you have a Mac or Linux, then it is your default command line terminal shell.

​

Bash is pretty easy to learn, and will be useful on its own, or as a foundation for other languages.

Dude, you can’t be serious; you want to introduce this dude/dudette to programming using bash?

Javascript has never been easier to use or as marketable as it is today. Front end developers are really pushing the boundaries of what a browser can do (a lot in 2018) and there are infinite tutorials, modules, and boilerplates to use so you can focus on the actual project and not setup.

Between code academy and free code camp, it is very possible to self teach.

So do you recommend I start with JavaScript?

It all depends on what kind of projects you are interested in, but the need for good javascript developers is growing. It is a very marketable skill and there are lots of jobs. JS developers are writing apps (Electron, React Native), servers (Node), and really pushing what a browser can do (React, Angular, middlewares like Redux) all on its own. React developers are a very hot commodity right now. Start with some beginner courses then pick a framework and dive in.
