Can I take two courses at the same time? I am in the middle of the Android course and want to start iOS while continuing Android but it says "switch course" under iOS.

hi Stephen Goodwin , you can always only be on one track - if you want to take another one you would "switch". however if you don't want to leave the current track and just want to watch other courses that's absolutely doable. you can go to the library and watch anything - this doesn't effect the track at all.

also if you're switching to another track you won't lose any of the progress in your last track - and you can always jump back to the old track or even choose another one - the system is very flexible.

hope that helps and have a nice day ;)

To second what Alex said, I have jumped from track to track a couple times when there is something specific that I am working on that I would rather focus on. I also sometimes jump between what I refer to as the "harder" and the "softer" tracks. The more technical tracks that look at java script or php take way more brainpower than I have by the end of the day sometimes, but I still want to make forward momentum. So, sometimes I will jump to something like the business or design centered tracks. Still information I am interested in knowing, but less brain intensive when I am too tired to focus.

This is the long way of saying that so far, jumping around tracks hasn't caused any problems thus far for me. Though, it is also worth noting, that if there is something specific that you want to learn outside of your current track, going to the library is probably easier and it will count should that class ever come up on one of your tracks.

I made a very simple app for my motorcycle group that makes it easy to share links to our website and facebook pages via SMS. Now all the iPhone user are crying for their app. I told them to just get a real phone. lol

I support this sentiment. :)
