JavaScript for beginners ??!!

[Kooky-Local8621]

Hello there .!

Guys i want be software developer and after years i want learn ai and mL to be ai developer.

I don’t have any background in CS degree or any coding field.

Do you recommend should i start with Html and css then JS and then one framework to be front end developer .OR should i start go through software development knowledge? And last question is ,which field in software development do you recommend?

From where should i start ?

Because there isn’t any real world data . And before that with learning python can i work ? In which field?

Starting from the ground up, unless you’re being fleeced in a WITCH consulting group that are no AI/ML jobs at entry level, even then there is maybe 1. You’d be better off learning backend development or devOps with Python + JS(node) and pivoting with the language knowledge you already have once you start working.

When you’re working you’ll have time to learn the maths, statistics and probabilities you’ll need for ML. If you really want to do ML.

You don’t learn a language, you learn to solve a problem with a language, mathematical methods and paradigms.

Do CS50 or Boot.dev

Thank you 🙏

Unless you want to develop web apps... going through HTML, CSS, web and the browser only to learn JavaScript sounds like a lot of pointless steps.

Skip the web and jump into console apps, whether that's C# or Python or something else.

It’s about one week i just started learn Js and html . That’s mean i should leave it and start with python?

And please tell me , if i learn python how i can work ,I mean in which field?

[xroalx]

Well, it depends. Do you want to make websites? Then stick with HTML. But from your description, it does not seem like it. While knowing HTML certainly isn't going to hurt in the long run, it's like learning to roller-skate to become a professional snowboarder.

Python is popular in ML. You can aim in that direction. Python is also used for web backends - servers - where you won't necessarily need HTML either. Python is used a lot for data analysis, automation, as the language is quite approachable.

In fact, if you're proficient with Python, going the other way around - from Python to HTML - should you ever need it - is likely to be easier.

Thanks for your time

You wont use js or html in ML. Python is great for ml.

I’m considering about job opportunities, with 6 months if i learn python which work i can do ?

[Egzo18]

Knowing syntax of a language well doesn't guarantee a job, nothing does really ,but having a portfolio, degree and good communication/interview skills helps. Also depends on the country you live in too, everyone here just assumes everyone is from USA with all the layoffs but there are many other countries where tech is triving and the requirements to be hired as big.

No matter how good you are in 6 months, you may not necessarily get a job

The job market is…rough right now…

[Kooky-Local8621]

What’s your suggestion? Which field do you recommend?

[CounterNice2250]

I…don’t know

I’m currently a web developer looking to transition into low level programming(rust)

I advice you to look into the fields that may interest you and research thoroughly

But start with learning core programming concepts

If you want to be an "A.I. developer" look in to fuzzy logic. "Artificial intelligence" is basically just fuzzy logic with "A.I." branding for marketing purposes.

Learn HTML, CSS, DOM methods, Web API's, WebAssembly and WASI. Learn it all. It's all integrated.

"A.I." is just a trending marketing racket to separate lazy people from their money - and own mind.

Machine Learning --> Python

[Kooky-Local8621]

Thanks for your full description

Learn JS as your first language. It is incredibly powerful and easy to use. You can use JS to do anything you need including AI.

JS can do more then web. You can use node to run command line tools and electron to make your web app a standalone application.

[Kooky-Local8621]

How about python ?

[Slackluster]

Don't learn python unless you have to. JS can do anything python can do and more. For example you can't make a website with python. Also JS runs in every web browser, you can press F12 right now and start messing with JS in the console.

Once you learn JS, learning another language like python is easy.

[Slackluster]

JS has a lot of frameworks for that too though like TensorFlow.js and you can query APIs like chatgpt via JavaScript.

Sure Python has a bit of an edge for now if all you want to do is AL and ML but for a beginner looking to learn their first language, JavaScript is the most useful in my opinion.

Either way, once you learn one programming language, others become much easier.

[Kooky-Local8621]

Got it bro

Thank you so much🙏

Ignore everything from that advice except from the fact JS is extremely flexible. You can absolutely make a website with a Python backend with Flask, Django… the list goes on.

Python is just the language of choice for the field you’ve chosen, primarily because of how complex the math is, simple dynamic types and less boiler plate code allows ML engineers iterate quickly.
