I don't see the difference in careers, I am confused on which track to pick?

31,602 PointsHey Adam,
the main difference between the two tracks is that in the Front-End Development track you'll learn JavaScript and jQuery whereas you won't learn any of those in the Web Design track. In the Web Design track on the other hand you'll learn Design basics instead (like Logo Design or Brand Identity Basics) and you'll learn about the use of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
Also you're going to get a bit deeper into CSS in the Web Design track and in the Front-End Development track you'll learn about the use of the Console and using git which isn't covered in the Web Design track.
So I suggest that if you're more interested in coding you should check out the Front-End Development track, if you prefer design you should go for the Web Design track. But don't worry too much about it as you can always switch the tracks or take additional courses from the library.
I hope that helps! :)
