For a beginner should I get started with hydrogen?

I've read through the docs, cloned dawn and made some modifications as well as played around in the page editor on shopify.

I am unsure if I should get started with hydrogen or continue with the regular setup

(If I were to do this professionally, what type of tech stack would be required/how are modern themes built)

Hi @kb999,
If you are new to Shopify or E-commerce and have little knowledge of coding, it is recommended that you use the regular setup. However, if you are a developer with experience in React and any React framework, you can choose to work with Hydrogen. Here are some resources that can guide you through the process of building with Hydrogen:

• Remix
• Shopify Hydrogen
• Shopify Storefront API
• Shopify Theme Architecture
• Weaverse

Thank you, I do have knowledge of coding as I use python for some backend things but I think I'll use the regular setup going forward
