I have been thinking about scaling down the project and concentrating on learning new techniques, rather than sticking with WordPress which I have an reasonable knowledge of already.
However, looking at frontend frameworks like Angular and React, and the backend frameworks Django (Python) and Firebase (various, but I would use Javascript) makes me think that the learning curve would be too steep for me to achieve the aims I have set for the learning platform.
I am thinking of a scaled down project which would be a Raspberry Pi Quickstart guide with game-based learning, still in WordPress, and if I’ve got time then create a more efficient frontend using Angular with WordPress via the REST API.
Angular!
Hit a bit of a roadblock with this – closed the page in my browser then couldn’t get back to where I was. I had got as far as Routing on the “Tour of Heroes” tutorial.
