Starting with Full-Stack JavaScript Track.

Hey all, can I begin with the Track Full-Stack JavaScript without knowing HTML and CSS? I've watched only "How to make a website" tutorial.

You really should know HTML and CSS before diving into JavaScript because the interactivity that JavaScript provides is built on top of HTML and CSS.

Check out this track: https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/web-design

You can probably skip the photoshop, illustrator, logo design, and svg courses in the track if you want to just focus on CSS and HTML. This will speed up getting to JavaScript.

Also, since you've already completed the How to make a Website course, you're already 1 step into this track to begin with.

I'd actually recommend the Frontend Web Developer track, rather than the Web Design track. I've completed the Frontend track, and I'd say it prepares you for the Fullstack track. Consider that fullstack developer is a frontend developer, but not necessarily a web designer.
