It's not me, but rather my professional musician friend. He wants to make supplementary income. I told him that Javascript, then React would be the way to do it. What do ya'll think?
Your friend should start with a project in mind. Even if they fail, it will guide everything else. First thing they need to find out is do they have any talent, or equivalent amount of burning desire, etc. Programming is hard, and not for most people (imo.) Supplementary income is one of the worst reasons to do this, but understandable.

I'm interested in seeing the responses to this. Personally, I went with Python first - but it's not too late to change tracks if there is a better way.
