[elm-discuss] Re: Pre-requisites for learning Elm?
It's Elm specific. This class is offered in first year and in first semester so there are no pre-requisites. But there obviously feels like there are prequisites because I'm totally lost.

[elm-discuss] What do I need to know before attempting to learn ELM?
Are there any prerequisites I should know before trying to learn ELM? I've never programmed in my life before, and the elm website's tutorial seems to assume the reader already has some sort of background in programming since I don't understand a lot of terminology.

Even the official elm guide seems like it assumes you know HTML and CSS and javascript (note: I simply know the names of these languages and nothing about them), or have programmed in a non-functional programming. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
