Front-End vs Full-Stack techdegree

Does anyone know how much more in-depth the Full-Stack JavaScript techdegree is compared to the Front-End Developer techdegree in terms of the amount of JS covered.

My guess is that they'll both be inline with their current tracks. Both have courses on vanilla JavaScript and jQuery. The Full Stack Track goes into more details regarding frameworks like Express and Angular. As well as other platforms, taskrunners, and databases. It looks like that track is purely JavaScript minus the database course. Whereas the Front End Track includes things like HTML, CSS, Optimization, and Accessibility. So I'm guessing their Techdegree counterparts will be similar.

Hope that helps! If you want more details I'd recommend sending an email to help@teamtreehouse.com .
