What happened to the Web Dev track?

Noticed that Web Dev track was missing earlier today. I was looking forward to taking it- is it gone?

I believe the Web Development track was renamed to Front-end Web Development, but that was some time ago. Are you thinking of something else?

Maybe, did the previous track just focus on Front-End? I didn't get a chance to look into it before it changed over *Edit- Meant to be a reply to Elriks comment. Whoops! :P

I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same, except for the newly added "Sass Basics" Deep Dive.

The Web Developer Track is now the Front-End Web Development Track. It focuses on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which is what the old Track focused on for the most part. We did some consolidation across all of our Tracks a few weeks ago to make the choices simpler for beginners and provide a more structured approach towards job preparedness.

Thanks for the clarification, Nick. Looking forward to going through it in the near future. Any advise on where to start learning the Back-End? PS just finished HTML Deep Dive not too long ago, keep up the great work!

I would start with either Rails Development or PHP Development. Both Tracks will teach you quite a lot about backends.
