Thanks for your reply sheraz! That's what I thought, and that's what I did with Django. I had never learn Python before and wanted to get started with Django. The problem though is that without having a lot of experience with Python, learning Django can really be a pain. It's pretty hard to follow any tutorials. To avoid going through the Django path again, I start to wonder whether I need to learn vanilla js first. And you answered me just that! So thank you!

Funny you mention django and python -- I've wanted to learn it but didn't want to invest the time with python :-) Lesson reciprocated!
