Courses Plus Student 7,016 PointsRecommended/suitable track pathway for beginner in web design through to development and programming
Hi,
I hope you can help me please:
Is there a particular order experienced folk would recommend for a student to complete the tracks in in order to gain a good grasp of web design, development and then programming, in a progressive sense from a beginner perspective?
I am currently on Web Design but wondered if there is a recommended pathway after this so I can become expert in web development.
Thanks

Looking from your profile you seem to be on the proper path, once you have a good grip on Ruby you should look into Ruby On Rails to become a better web developer.

Courses Plus Student 7,016 PointsHi Helmi,
Thanks for your reply.
Haha!....whilst I THINK I have a grip on it, I sometimes feel I don't! What I have learned is that I need to coding in practice on things where I see the code applicable. I think I learn and retain it better that way.
I will keep going though.
Thank you!

1,371 PointsYeah that's the problem with coding education they don't tell what good is the concept for until you find out for yourself later on, just like math back in school. I would suggest topcoder.com and hackerrank.com to hone your skills. If you have similar sites let me know.
