Should I follow a track according to the ordered sections?

Hi, I am a software developer have one year experience with Python. However, I am new to web development world. And I want to register the Rails Track.

As started the track, I found that there are so many sections about html/css and JavaSctipt. Only five sections talking about ruby or ror.

So should I follow the order of the sections or is it okay to just learn the ror sections? Thanks.

It really depends on how much you already know on HTML , CSS , Javascript.

In some courses like building the Treebook app you'll see some html and css basics.

If you don't know anything about html css and Javascript I recommend you take a look into it, at least the basics.

Then learn about setting up the RoR environment and go for a project like treebook. The Ruby deep dive can be watched alongside with the project development.

Good luck!

Thanks, Rodrigo. I have some knowledge of html, but not familiar with css/javascrpt. Maybe I can just pick javascript first then turn to ror in this track.
