Is this right? JS before learning HTML and CSS?

HTML and CSS will be helpful, but not required.

I would say, you don't need to be an expert, but at some point you will need to learn it. You will run into tasks that will will require you to add/remove class names, that have CSS applied to those class names. You will need to create DOM elements (HTML) and will need to know the difference between say HTMLCollections and NodeLists. Theses are just a couple of examples of having to learn HTML/CSS while learning JS. The Most important thing at this stage is to take your time and enjoy learning. Learning is something you will Always have to do, at any stage. If you have any questions along your adventure into programming remember you can always ask questions here. Good Luck!

Hello BJ Martin, What's your current skill set or knowledge?

For me , I am a cs grad with base in Java. Currently I am following the javascript full stack track on treehouse and it's going really great. The reason for why is it going good for me? well it's because of I have some Intro to Programming , which I also recommend you as well. Don't straight away dive into Javascript if you have no prior knowledge of coding.

Start it out with python, ruby or java. Pick one language at start and try to be comfortable with it, and once you got all those basic to advance concepts clear in one language and made a project or two in it then it will be a breeze for you to learn anything in this field of Computer Science.

HTML and CSS is good for front end styling, I didn't start fromt it and I have some knowledge of it but don't want to go in there at all and if needed I can always look it up on google and stay focused on my goal of learning full stack development.

I hope I answered your question , GoodLuck on learning and Happy Coding :)

Thanks guys, I chose to change to front end development to learn some html and css. I'm a newbie and trying to learn fast to get a first job in tech because I had to move back to Houston after 12 yrs in San Francisco. There's no way to survive out in Silicon Valley without a tech income, it's the highest in the world and I'm sadden that I had to leave. I left when a one bedroom condo sold for 1.2 million. That's higher than Paris or London now. My rent went up to $1650.00 and they threaten to $2,000.00 so I had to move. So, I'm trying to get a first tech job as soon as possible. Houston sucks but it's cheap comparatively.
