1
00:00:01,020 --> 00:00:04,530
A Treehouse Techdegree
should keep you pretty busy.

2
00:00:04,530 --> 00:00:07,652
There are plenty of videos to 
watch, projects to build, 

3
00:00:07,652 --> 00:00:10,320
quizzes and challenges to
 test your knowledge.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,069
However, sometimes you might 
feel motivated to learn a skill

5
00:00:15,069 --> 00:00:19,550
not found within the Techdegree. 
Perhaps you're a UX student

6
00:00:19,550 --> 00:00:24,459
interested in learning the basics 
of HTML and CSS, or a front-end

7
00:00:24,459 --> 00:00:29,640
web developer who would like
to learn a few usability principles.

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,566
Treehouse offers two ways to learn
content found outside your Techdegree

9
00:00:34,566 --> 00:00:38,550
in the Library and Tracks 
sections of the main navigation.

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,868
The Library is useful when 
searching for a single course 

11
00:00:43,868 --> 00:00:46,840
or workshop on a 
particular topic.

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,606
When you click Library, you'll see
a list of topics taught at Treehouse,

13
00:00:51,606 --> 00:00:56,160
as well as some learning content
Treehouse thinks might interest you.

14
00:00:57,260 --> 00:01:01,666
But maybe you're interested
specifically in responsive design

15
00:01:03,156 --> 00:01:07,060
as you want to make your websites
legible on a variety of screens.

16
00:01:08,210 --> 00:01:13,880
Typing responsive design into the search
bar produces a lot of results.

17
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,155
But let's use the topics filter
to view only design content.

18
00:01:22,744 --> 00:01:27,170
This workshop called Responsive Design
looks like a pretty good bet.

19
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,632
Tracks are a customized
list of courses and

20
00:01:31,632 --> 00:01:37,040
workshops that provide a guided
learning path for a particular subject.

21
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,488
If you're a developer looking to
learn a few design principles,

22
00:01:40,488 --> 00:01:42,380
there's probably a Track for you.

23
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:48,740
Let's use the filtering menu to once again
narrow our choices to Design curriculum.

24
00:01:50,390 --> 00:01:53,900
And here's a Track called
Design Skills for Web Developers.

25
00:01:55,130 --> 00:01:59,356
It looks like this Track should
take about 16 hours to complete,

26
00:01:59,356 --> 00:02:04,190
and consists of a mixture of courses,
workshops, and practice sessions.

27
00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:10,316
Since you're a Techdegree student, you
won't be able to officially join a Track,

28
00:02:10,316 --> 00:02:12,976
which means the Track dashboard 
won't measure your progress 

29
00:02:12,976 --> 00:02:17,427
through the Track the way your 
Techdegree dashboard does.

30
00:02:17,427 --> 00:02:21,605
But if you have a bit of extra learning
time on your hands, completing

31
00:02:21,605 --> 00:02:25,800
a Treehouse Track is an excellent
way to expand your tech knowledge.
