Just want to thank you for your kind comments, it's making me happy :) - cheers from Jen, maintainer of these repos and curriculum designer / author at Microsoft
Are there beginner courses for other technologies as well?

Thanks for making this. Are there beginner courses for other technologies as well?

and - this is a sneak peek, https://aka.ms/ai-beginners, we're just finishing it up :)
This tutorial is way beyond anything he could approach. For example "Pedagogy" - I don't know what that means, and neither does he. Another example, from the beginning "In this section of the curriculum, you will be introduced to non project-based concepts important to becoming a professional developer."
I suspect most of this is translation issues, but given the audience (kids, newbies), this language is super intimidating.
One of my kids - 10yrs old - has been wanting to learn basic HTML and "programming". We've been going through the W3C with no trouble, and he's learning at an amazing rate.

It means “teaching methods”.

One question: Did you consider splitting up these pictures into smaller pictures? As an example, look at this page[1]. The picture seems to have a lot of things in there. Did you consider using multiple smaller pictures?

I 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.
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!
Arguably the best web development curriculum for children that I have seen from any of the top technology companies. Congratulations.

One thing, I did a lot of the smaller non-sketchnote art on https://aka.ms/ml-beginners, embedded as infographics. So that was a different art strategy.
