Watch this brilliant video, I think the author nailed it: [this video] tl;dr: - Learn Node, Django, or Ruby if you want to do the backend(personally, I HIGHLY recommend Django. It's extremely awesome and is the perfect way to start in my opinion). - Learn HTML/CSS/JS on the front end, then Sass and jQuery, then, if you want to be an advanced frontend developer - Webpack, React, and Redux. I think this is the optimal way to go right now.

What's really valuable is a programmer who has experience from another domain such as history, engineering, medicine etc (and accounting in your case). I cannot recall exactly where he said it but I remember reading it and chuckling to myself. 2. Are you sure you want front-end dev work? Why not back-end? Exactly what skills are in demand? I recommend you watch this video on state of tools available in web dev including front-end, back-end, and DevOps as of 2016. [this video] I should warn that the shelf life of front-web dev skills seems
