To be honest I don't know very much. I am getting decent with python, and have looked a bit into the django framework. Should I continue with python and delve into django, or should I learn js? Any insight into a sensible path for someone in my position would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much, Albert
And there ARE others, but you're just in your first semester, and these things take time. Python and JavaScript aren't bad places to start. Once you get your feet under you, there's time to do more.
If you are going to be building sites with Django, then JavaScript is a must. If you have the time then you could read a whole book on JavaScript, otherwise just read a 5 minute tutorial on JavaScript to get familiar with its capabilities and syntax. The best way to learn a language is to use it, JavaScript can be very frustrating because of how unpredictable it can be.
Code, Code, Code, and use Google to answer your questions. Good luck!
Both are valuable skills to have, and the answer is probably learn both.
