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.
