we learned to add HTML from JS with querySelector method but here we see a different method, he doesn't explain this.

As we learned earlier in java script course we have learned to add javascript querySelector mehtod but here we see instructor has been using different method and he did not explaining this. Can anybody from treehouse tell me why this happening?

You are right. JS Basics was updated with es2015. And this course is a little bit out of date. They have promised to update this course in May2020 , but now I see it will be only in June 2020. I think you mean this as it it was with Guil at JS basics

 const printList = list => {
 let listArtist = '';
  for ( let i = 0; i < list.length; i += 1) {
     listArtist += `<li>${list[i]}</li>`;
  }    
   document.querySelector('ol').innerHTML = listArtist;
}

The course that most thoroughly covers how JavaScript and HTML interact is JavaScript and the DOM. You may want to take it next, or even set this one aside and take it first and return to this one aftewards.

That was in JavaScrip Basic course, "working with the string" Section and the lecure title was "Display the Value of a String on a Page". The main thing is what the teacher is doing here something with java script and HTML is totaly unclear and confusing.

Guil did it using string interpolation ${} .. where as this course is using string concatenation.

At the beginning of this course they did say " feel free to use string interpolation" and const and let instead of var
