3,422 PointsFront End Track JavaScript, What's next?
I haven't finished the Front End Track yet, nor have I started JavaScript. My question is, after finishing Front End, will I have good enough knowledge to build my own interactive website? Or will I have to look at the library and watch more videos not in the track? If so, what is recommended after the track? Does the library have more advanced JavaScript to evolve my knowledge in JavaScript? If so, what other videos should I watch after the track?
Thanks in advanced!
I may have more questions!

Javascript is a good language to start with. You won't ever be done learning it, but you can know enough to pick up new things in just a few weeks.
That being said, if you want to make an interactive website, you'll have enough information do that when you've finished the front end developer track.

31,009 Pointsjavascript is actually a very hard language. jquery is a library. I still don't understand AJAX. it takes at least 5 years to master js. I would also read up on javascript cookbooks.
For some reason php is easier than javascript for me. Jquery is great if you want to design a page. Most sites use frameworks like bootstrap. You have to design websites for mobile phones now not computers. Times have changed.
I finished the entire track of front end. I feel like I'm not ready. javascript it's own beast. I'll be full stack soon enough. LOLs.
I'm not going to lie I supplement my learning with youtube, and books. Plus I hack away.
In addition, I watch lynda and codeschool videos.
