You can also hover over those icons to see the names. They don't have a track specifically for java, but the android development track uses java as its primary language.

Is a way to be sure that you are going to see all the courses that you need, is more for have a guideline which is really helpful. And when you finish the track you are going to have a cheer lol! and points that shows that you have a good knowledge.

5,487 PointsI'd like to add to this, Objective-C is only slightly like C++. The syntax is completely different. Some similarities, however, is that both are C based languages, and I believe you can combine C code with C++ or Objective-C.

5,487 PointsA track is like a roadmap of different types of courses. By setting a track you will receive daily reminders of what you should be working on to get your track done. Tracks are split into projects, which you can follow along and build cool apps to use and customize! Inside of the projects, its usually split into different pieces to teach you the core features on how it all works, and those have a few videos each.
Essentially, tracks are a way to set your focus on one technology and receive motivation to learn about that technology.
By completing a track, you will have learned a vast amount of knowledge on your technology of course. For example, after completing the iOS Development with Objective-C track, you'll be able to create apps for iOS with Objective-C all on your own, and you'll have a lot of the important skills to do so.
