Which techdegree is easier? iOS or FullStack Javascript?

I am interested in either iOS or Fullstack Javascript but I am wondering which one is easier to grasp on and can learn in a shorter span of time?

James,

This is a great question, and one that we get a lot. I think the best thing is to go for what you're interested in. Despite small differences in difficult that can be relative from person to person, studying something you're interested in can really help iron over learning some of the more difficult aspects.

In that case, the question really becomes "Do I want to develop for mobile or the web?" If you're still not sure, start to look at some job listings that really excite you, and find out if you're attracted to one job more than the other. Then pick what they're looking for.

If all else fails, I find that a lot of students that come into the Techdegree with zero experience, though every Techdegree is built to start you as an absolute beginner, feel comfortable jumping into the Front End Techdegree more often than not. Whatever you choose, we're excited to have you as a student!
