I did say SF - the fellow before me said internships were paid in Silicon Valley so I was curious if there was a leg that added to BART to get there.

I just don't know what companies expect for frontend work - I have been doing the tutorials for React, Meteor, Ember, and Angular but this sounds more like backend work to me. Should I be looking in the direction of markup languages? I have used HAML to work with data in YAML, I need to conquer SASS, LESS, and Stylus I think.

I feel pretty confident about my language list - IRC kinda 'raised me' on programming.

C, C++ (templates are still hard), Java (don't know popular libraries), Ruby, Python, Lua, Coffeescript, JS, Lisp, Haskell (can read, not write..), Erlang, Elixir (beginning), PHP, ...

I just mean to say I do know Python quite well - I worked through the Violent Python book a month ago and loved the hell out of it :-)

Thank you for your feedback - I just wish I had a better idea of what is frontend. Imo things like React blur that line building components against the backend so closely?
