Comment on Ask HN: Hardware guy needs to learn web application development – what language?parent

I created my first dynamic website using Phoenix, coming from a data mining background. I knew about HTML and CSS but that was it. I followed one of the Phoenix books, and managed to make a full blog website in a couple of weeks in my spare time. Though Phoenix tutorials and books in general tend to assume that you know how to use Javascript, and so I never really picked up how to make a proper Javascript-based website with React (or whatever) except for copy-pasting relevant stuff. Anyway, overall pleasant and easy experience since Elixir is very logical and straightforward.
