I am beginner, I have just finished the computer language assignments. Should I start the Front end web development 70 hours next? Thank you.

It is important because stuff in languages like Python usually have stuff like Python's Flask which requires HTML. If you want to learn plain programming (I recommend this!) you could learn (you pick):
- Python
- Ruby
- JavaScript (learn HTML first for this choice!!)
- Java
- C#
Hope that helps!

You might be able to do it in two weeks, but I'd recommend building projects as you go for the sake of retaining the knowledge you'll pick up along the way.

Courses Plus Student 998 PointsWhat kind of project would you recommend? Where you a beginner too? Was JavaScript really hard?

Rick Klaras
20,183 PointsWell, there's a to-do list project available on Treehouse that will help you get a handle on JavaScript. You could also try building a survey or something similar.
Honestly, I'd still consider myself a beginner. JavaScript takes some time to understand - at least it has for me. But the more you practice, the better you'll get. I think the main thing is to just keep at it.

Courses Plus Student 998 PointsDid the front end dev developer track give you a little basic knowledge in JS? Did you start with zero programing knowledge before you start the Front end developer track?

Rick Klaras
20,183 PointsYes, the front-end track covers quite a bit of JS territory, including basics, loops, arrays, objects, interactivity, and JQuery, which is a popular library used in JS dev. You'll definitely come out of it knowing way more than you did going in. I'd say it's worth completing, and would make an excellent next step. Good luck!

Courses Plus Student 998 PointsI see... so, for beginners like me that front end web development track seems to be the right one... am I right? because it covers HTML, CSS and some JS. I was granted a scholarship in a coding boot camp(.NET stack); I am trying to prepare myself for it before the class starts. Do you think the front end(70 hours track) would help me...? I am a legit beginner... with no programming background. Is this track for beginners like me? And also, do you think it is possible to finish in 2 weeks?
