    What path did you choose when jumping in? I see you're a fan of react nowadays. Would you recommend someone like me to start there? I also have CSS/WP experience but very little jquery experience.

      Well like I said I started with WordPress and jQuery, then tried learning Rails when building Folyo, but somehow it never made sense (looking back, I think Rails just introduced too many new concepts at once for me).

      I then discovered Meteor and liked it much better, since I was at least comfortable with JavaScript through my experience with jQuery.

      Later on I transitioned from pure-Meteor to Meteor/React, and then from there Redux, GraphQL, etc.

      These days I would start with the React ecosystem (at least on the front-end), and I actually wrote a guide on how to do it:
