Educators, coworkers, colleagues working in front-end dev - we definitely need to encourage a #JavascriptFirst ideology. Learn the language.

@danielmall Not as opposed to HTML/CSS. As opposed to learning bits and pieces of Javascript Frameworks. Good clarification! Thank you!

@garyrozanc Strongly agree! Along with history, curriculum must lean on a cornerstone of strong HTML, CSS, actual Javascript /@danielmall
@garyrozanc Gary, that loops back to my original concern, I think. "How do I fit this cogently into a pre-existing curriculum" /@danielmall
@garyrozanc @danielmall That's the bottom line: We must learn and teach the actual languages. I've done this my entire career with HTML/CSS.
@garyrozanc The expectation is that an instructor/trainer will focus on "the cool stuff." I've been told off by students more than once!
@mholzschlag I am afraid more and more Devs learn tools instead of languages :-( justmarkup.com/log/2015/07/t…

@justmarkup Equally disturbing indeed! Heh. "Full Tools" dev - that's funny. And related to the how we learn concern, I believe.
@mholzschlag with most frameworks I've used, have had to use native JS within the framework. Inescapable? Agree with your statement though!

@mholzschlag Not just JS either. All frameworks for other languages I've used become much more powerful if you KNOW the base lang!
