Starting out as a total newb to coding, I found starting with HTML to be a nice intro and a confidence builder. It at least gives you and idea of structure before one tries to wrap their head around the logic of JavaScript. That being said, JavaScript is one of the most used languages out there, so moving quickly to start learning it is in ones best interest. If you have some programming background, then yes, start with JavaScript. If you are a total newb like I was, I would recommend starting with HTML then JavaScript.

I am finishing my bootcamp in a few weeks and I am already interviewing for jobs. Based on what I've heard so far, a lot of companies are just as interested in bootcampers. They are willing to teach the stack their company uses and are more interested in your willingness to learn. I have only had one person point out that the ad for the job stated that they are looking for someone with a four year degree. All of the other jobs I am applying for say the same thing, but apparently some companies do want that degree. That being said I've been on four interviews and have two follow up interviews next week! $5,000 and a year of time will probably start you out at $55,000 a year. Sounds like a good investment to me! I vote for bootcamp!
