Andrew Chalkley
Treehouse Guest TeacherjQuery Basics will replace Build an Interactive Website in a Track. The previous Smells Like Bakin' courses by Nick Pettit and Allison will be replaced with Nick's new How to Build a Website course.
The old courses will be in the Library still for people to finish, if they choose to.

Fantastic!

39,199 PointsAndrew Chalkley - I noticed JavaScript Foundations by Rachel Nabors has been dropped from the roadmap. Have plans for this course been scraped?

Andrew Chalkley
Treehouse Guest TeacherNope. Just the production schedule has had a little shuffle. We'll update it when things are more solid.

Gary Sorrell
6,543 PointsAny word on when this will show up today? I had just started the Build an Interactive Website part, but stopped to wait for this.

Treehouse Guest TeacherI'm in PST so I just started today, I've got to review somethings before we go live. But it'll happen before 6PM PST :)

14,475 PointsAndrew: In the intro section, the "It's a trip" span animates coming in from the upper left area of the browser as it moves to the center of the viewport. What is doing this? I would think that it would slowly show (fade in) while positioned at the center of the viewport. Is it something to do with the "show" jQuery code?

Andrew Chalkley
Treehouse Guest TeacherThe show()
method does a pretty poor job at animating things.
You could use something like fadeIn("slow")
or slideDown("show")
. show()
is a lot better at showing things instantly.

Dave McFarland
Treehouse TeacherGary Ford jQuery's .show()
method animates the width, height, margin, padding and opacity.
