9,645 PointsShould I Do The JavaScript Track?
I am currently half way through the Front-End track so I have developed a pretty good understanding of the most fundamental concepts in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. However, I would really really love to improve my JavaScript skills and most likely become a JavaScript Developer.
I have heard on here that the Full-stack JavaScript track might not be very good and that has made me hesitate. I really wanna learn JavaScript well but Im not sure if switching to that track is the best idea. Should switch to the JavaScript track or should I continue on the Front-End track? Any advice or opinions would be very much appreciated.

(That's what I did)

9,645 PointsThat makes sense since the Front-End track still has a few JavaScript courses left on it. I guess Im really wondering if it would be possible to focus on JavaScript entirely from here on out and still be a good Front-End developer, without furthering my knowledge in HTML and CSS.
