Web Development for Beginners – A Curriculum

Slightly 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

That example introduces a lot of visual clutter and inconsistency. I doubt anyone can make it from 1 to 24 and not feel exhausted.

Panel 4, "Deep dive into IOT" has an illustration of stick figure diving under water. I'm not sure the concept of "deep dive" requires the explanation.

I thought the learning potential was more for the person who makes the sketchnote, rather than people reading docs.
