Hello,

I am thinking about teaching my students JavaScript first so that they can start creating websites and make their career, what are your thoughts?

I'd start with logic, infrastructure and design first. Once that is locked in they can use any language to move forward as it's only syntax you need to learn once your logic and design is solid. I'd offer them a choice of three different languages to achieve the same end result of the assignment. This shows them the importance of logic and design and the transference of skills.
