Learn TypeScript
A great introductory course. I would strongly recommend not taking the course over a long period, as some concepts can get lost quickly and require more reading of the "spellbook" resources.

Some folks look at the job data and assume that front-end positions are the only option for new learners. On the contrary, there is big demand for backend and data-oriented positions!
If you like working with data, logic, and servers, you might just enjoy the back-end, data-focused curriculum here on Boot.dev. And similar to the frontend, most data and backend positions don't require a specific degree from a university... but you do need to know your stuff!
