Can I Pursue two tech-degreee courses simultaneously?

Hello !

With regard to the Techdegree Program, I wish to pursue Front end development course. However, I've already completed most of the courses as a normal member. Hence I thought I could probably take up even the Python Web-development course, simultaneously in the spare time. Will it be possible for me to switch tracks like the way we do in the normal treehouse membership?

Thanks in advance for you response.

It's best to focus one. Juggling with multiple programs will reduce the effectiveness of learning. I believe you can't have two degree courses going on simultaneously.

Okay, thanks. Between the Front end development and Full Stack Javascript, which course would you recommend? What are the additional things that I'll be able to do by taking up the Full Stack Javascript course?

FEWD focuses on the structure, design, and interactivity of a site while FSJS goes much deeper in terms of interactivy and also explores the back end, including MEAN stack and databases.

That depends what you want to achieve. I haven't taken either course yet so I wouldn't be able to tell you. Personally for me I will be taking Full Stack JavaScript in the near future.
