Which Track Should I Learn?

I am a beginner in the field, but I would like to learn the basics on how to build an aggregate website such as Kayak. Thanks in advance for the recommendations.

Roel, you'll at least want to start with a basic foundation of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before you move into dynamic web apps. You could start with the Front End Web Development track for that, but you might do better taking the Web Design track first.

I started out with the web design "how to make a website" course. It gave me a pretty good grip on the basics of HTML and CSS . Then I moved over to the front end web development track where they do "deep dives" on both html and css where they have you polish your newly acquired skills and teach you more advanced tags and elements that weren't covered in the other lessons as well. I feel like I'm on a pretty good path so far.
