1,982 PointsFront End Track.
Hi all,
I am a professional graphic designer, having MA degree in visual communication, working at IT company as an Visual/UI/UX designer. To broaden my spectrum of knowledge, I am trying to learn front end development.
As I don't need design course (Adobe/design theory), I would like to dig deep into HTML/CSS/JS. So, my goal is to be able to code complicated sites, therefore I need systematic approach.
What track(s) would you suggest? Front End Web Development? Any other?
Thanks a million!

in my opinion the Front-End track is definitely what you're looking for. There are no design courses (in contrast to the Web Designer course) in there and you'll learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Therefore the Front-End track gives you the systematic approach you're looking for, starting with the basics of building a website with just HTML for the structure and CSS for the styling and later extending it with JavaScript to make it interactive, first with basic vanilla JavaScript then jQuery and later with slightly more advanced techniques like AJAX.
When you're done with the Front-End track make sure to check out the library and look for HTML, CSS and JavaScript courses that were not included in the track. If you feel like you want to get more advanced with JavaScript afterwards you can take a look at the Full-Stack JavaScript course where you can skip the basic courses you already did in the Front-End track and get right into some Node.js/Express/Angular.
I hope that helps, have fun! :)

Good luck.
