Are there any workshops and courses that specifically link together?

My problem is, as I learn various topics, I cannot find “corresponding” workshops to work on and implement the skills taught.

I want to do an independent project after each course NOT after a whole track and I find it difficult to match workshops with specific courses. Is it because there aren’t enough workshops to match each course in a track? I would find this most helpful so that I can target specific topics of study and work on those targeted topics through relevant projects.

Someone in the forum said it best: “I think it will improve the learning experience if you can link various workshops in different courses that share a common tree of knowledge.”

What do you recommend I do? What resources do you recommend I use?

Thanks in advance!

In the library you can add courses to your home page and then take them. You may need to cherry-pick them out of various tracks. For instance, CSS is found in a variety of tracks, with different emphasis (thus the track!). But you can pull them out and add them to your home page.

Thanks for the advice Jon. But let me ask you, how do I match specific CSS courses with coordinating workshops?

Kelvin,
I haven't exactly figured that out. I have just been looking for all the beginner ones, then moving to intermediate as I move through the tracks, and feel like I need more practice. I am new to it all, so I trust their judgement, though sometimes I wish they had just a "CSS--this is everything we have" sorta course.

I totally agree. I feel that it is important to put what you've learned into practice so that's why I am so adamant about finding workshops to do as I go through the courses. I trust their judgement too, but I keep having this feeling that I want more, or maybe not more, but specificity. At this point all we can do is recommend what we need and hope that they give it to us. Either way, I think I may try it your way. Go through the beginner workshops and see what they offer me. Thanks Jon.
