3,305 PointsI'm curious if I will be ready for ajax
I'm working on completing the JavaScript full stack track and I've made it through most of the DOM and jquery courses. I feel more comfortable with jquery than I did during the basics courses and I'm wondering if I should continue onto the ajax course or spend more time outside of Treehouse practicing. Ajax seems really interesting and I think I could work on some projects with it, but I don't want to be too far in over my head.

41,120 PointsPersonally I found learning AJAX relatively easy. It’s bringing everything together to make a useful application that’s the difficult part. But it was only once I learned about AJAX that I was motivated to try building things outside Treehouse. So I say do the AJAX course now, and then afterwards experiment a lot with it and the other JS you’ve learned to build a small application.

23,994 PointsI second that Stuart Wright. I took half a day out to do Dave McFarland's AJAX Basics and found it great - so much so that I went back a project I'd just done and rewrote the form submission straight away using AJAX. It opened up heaps of new ideas and I didn't regret investing half a day learning it. I'd barely finished JS basics at the time, so I'm sure you'd be ready for it Brandon.
