#3Looks like a great resource for absolute beginners. I have dabbled in full stack open [1] and I Think that is a great resource for people who have a little cs knowledge under their belt already.

#5Superb to see accessibility being there right at the start.
Also really nice to see that this is not just a "how to use React" tutorial - kudos to MS for avoiding that. Looks like a great course.

#6I recently had a conversation with an "absolute beginner" and it was a stark reminder just how much knowledge I take for granted. It really is extremely challenging to try and build up a base of knowledge starting with no prior experience, and it's great to see examples of this done right.

#7Slightly cynical but lesson 2 is already into GitHub and a bunch of terminal commands. Great way to put beginners off web development. I guess it's no surprise Microsoft wants beginners to sign up at lesson 2 of 24.
Also I'm not sure if these info graphic styles help or hinder understanding at a glance. I find it more effort to read the flow when it's a comic, but could be just me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/Web-Dev-For-Begi...

Our sketchnotes are very popular, and help visual learners. We have others in a different style: https://aka.ms/iot-beginners

I find most of what I do in web dev to be trivial to the point of mind-numbing. People smarter than me from different fields try to do what I do and often have far more difficulty than I'd expect.
Job security for me until the ML engineers work out I can probably be mostly replaced by a smarter templating engine!
