Basics vs Foundations

I have seen in more than one topic that there is a class about foundations and one about basics. To me that sounds a bit the same. What is it that i should expect from one class that i should not expect from the other?

Thanks!

I'd say to expect what the title suggests. I think you're talking about JS courses.

Basics will give you everything you need to know, to write a JavaScript program. But both assume you're starting JavaScript completely new.

That said, Foundations while introduces you to new topics, also delves into more advanced JS topics for the first time, things like Objects.

I would definitely do Basics first, before moving on to Foundations.
