One size does not fit all in software engineering. Python is an approachable, scalable language designed for backend web work but can open the door to curiosity about the frontend. This book is written for programmers with 1-3 years of Python experience who wish to expand their knowledge of the web ecosystem to the frontend programming world enabled by JavaScript and understand how using JavaScript on both the frontend and the backend, through Node.js, leads to efficient coding and workflows.
A solid understanding of data types, functions, and scope will be important to grasping the concepts laid out in this book. Familiarity with HTML, CSS, the Document Object Model (DOM), and Flask and/or Django will come in handy.
