If you want to make a chatroom-style application like Yahoo, you should probably take the Front-end Web Development track.

The Web Design track focuses on HTML and CSS, and it's impossible to make a chatroom project without JS or a back-end language.

The Front-end Web Development track does HTML and CSS, but it doesn't go as deep, and also does a lot of JavaScript.

Even if you complete this course, you may not be able to make this application. If you really want to make a Yahoo-like application, you will probably need to finish the Full Stack JavaScript track. It covers more advanced JavaScript.

Before you hop onto the Full Stack JS track, you will need the fundamentals, which are all in the Front-end track.
