Courses Plus Student 7,234 PointsWhy 'Introduction to jQuery' instead of 'jQuery Basics'
Why is TTH replacing 'jQuery Basics (5 hrs)' with 'Introduction to jQuery (91 min)'
in the Front-End-Web-Development track? I didn't start either course yet, but I'm almost there. Any advice?

28,330 PointsThey may have just updated some content, as technologies have changed a bit over time. jQuery Basics was much more in-depth, with several projects and real-world examples. Introduction to jQuery, on the other hand, looks like more of a high altitude flyover. It doesn't seem to go into as much detail as jQuery Basics, and it doesn't offer real-world projects.
Honestly, I would do whatever the Track is recommending first, then take the other one immediately after! That should give you an even deeper understanding of jQuery.

Courses Plus Student 7,234 PointsThat's an excellent answer, and advice. First do the intro course and then do the in-depth course. Thank you.
