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

@mholzschlag: Interesting! As opposed to HTML/CSS first?

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

@heydonworks @danielmall Sorry about that. I missed a couple of years - is Javascript First (ahead of HTML/CSS) a widespread concept?

@mholzschlag @heydonworks: unfortunately, yes. Many code school/boot camps start off with JS because it's a skill engineers need. Baffling.

@danielmall @heydonworks That's a bother! I want to use #javascriptFirst to push Javascript as language prior to Frameworks. Too confusing?
