General Discussion

Why do they jump around in courses on the front end track?

What I mean is, why don't they cover say all the HTML stuff first, then move on to all the CSS stuff, then JS, etc?

Just wondering why it's set up the way it is.

I think -and this is just how I personally understand it- that it is easier and more interesting to learn HTML and CSS at the same time, because you can use the styling of CSS to see how your HTML is progressing, rather than looking at black on white text. It gives the audience a bit of variety in their learning and it would also be a bit unusual to go from learning advanced HTML to learning the most basic of CSS. I hope this is helpful!
