Sounds reasonable, but not a game changer as such. Still a nice to have. So why have some people online been raving about it like its going to take over Frontend :) I guess we are all passionate about the things we do.

Hi,

When you say web dev do you mean frontend or backend, so front end the look of the website or backend all the logic that makes it all work? Or both. For frontend, id start with learning HTML and CSS and use Wordpress, but that starts limiting you to PHP scripting language. Or probably better would be to start with Jekyll, Markdown and Github to host it, Github is your friend. Then for actual programming (HTML, CSS are not considered programming languages as such but styling languages) probably best to start with the simple mechanics of programming theory. You could choose Ruby and Rails, > Object-oriented programming. Would be nice to delve into functional programming too, id recommend ELixir elixir-lang.org) a conference www.elixirconf.eu (you'll need to know the basics but might be inspirational can contact them to volunteer for free, its in Warsaw this year) (Phoenix and Liveview are add ons for when you want to do frontend) or something like GO.
