Confused about which track to complete first.

I'm interested in learning web development and JavaScript, and want to cover the Front End Web Development, Web Design and Full-Stack JavaScript tracks. Started off with Web Design, and after covering the website building (first) course I switched to the JavaScript track and have covered the first two courses there. Now I'm unsure about which track to continue with? Don't want to continue with JavaScript and find out I'm missing on important HTML and CSS courses. Feeling a little lost so any help would be appreciated.

Web Design goes into some basics around html and css but a lot of time is spent on design and tools like photoshop and illustrator. If that is not your cup of tea then I would suggest completing the Front End track. It gives you a good overview and solid basis in all aspects and then you can dive into full stack JS. (You will also notice that you complete a bunch of the full stack JS classes during your front end program so it saves you some time there.)

Thanks Falk! I think I'll switch to Front End Web Dev. Then cover the JS one. I'm interested in learning designing tools too (I feel like the only person on Earth who doesn't know how to use Photoshop) but I'll focus on that later.

Believe me, you are not. And at least half the people that say the know how to use have no clue either. (I don't either btw.) I don't use photoshop. If you have the time you can learn everything. If you don't have much time learn the things that are most important. :)

Haha! It helps to know that. I'm taking your advice and learning the important stuff first. :)
