Is there any penalty to switching tracks if I'm curious to see what's on a different one?

I'm slogging through the web design track, and am really curious about the Ruby track. Do I have to finish up web design, or can I leave it for now and come back later?

No there isnt , teamtreehouse is a resource for you to learn and points are motivating for you . The only penality is if you learn about it and swich so if you learn eg HTML CSS and some JS and PHP but u need another eg 6months to do a fully developed website like facebook and you swetch , you will forget about some of it and well it wont be nice for you because you put effort learning there and time .
