Strange pattern in the track "Web Design".

Im following the learning track "Web Design" and it was beginning with the course "How to Make a Website". It was pretty allrounded with HTML, CSS, selectors, margins etc. But after that course they recommend "CSS Basics". Why don't they put that course and also the "HTML Basics" course following after before "How to Make a Website"? Cause now i feel like im doing it all over again? Is that why they put it after it or? Cause for me otherwise it makes no sense.

I know what you mean, I believe that the CSS Basics and HTML Basics just cover those topics more in depth. Which, honestly, isn't super needed but it doesn't hurt either.

Ive been through that part of the track and it is not a duplicate course. Its a different class that is more advanced than the first. In the beginning they show you a little bit of a few things. Then the dive more deeper into the little bit they showed you. It works out great as you get a review of old stuff for refreshing your memory. I wouldnt get hung up on course titles.

Thankyou for the answer. I feel indeed like it is refreshing the memory compared with the things i learned the course before.
