Hello all!
I just signed up for Treehouse, and while I have a roadmap of what I want to do (web development), I'm a little confused.
I see the Front End Web Development Track, but at the same time, I also see other tracks such as the HTML and the Javascript Track. Are the latter two modules that make up the Front End Web Development Track? Or are they separate and meant to be used as supplementary material to the Front End Web Development Track?
Thanks for your time and help!

4,705 PointsHi, Alexander - welcome to Team Treehouse! All 3 of those tracks fit within the scope of web development, but they're going to each be a little specialized. Bear in mind that tracks are like mini roadmaps - with each track having lessons in a specific order. However, tracks can contain some of the same lessons/courses from other courses.
If you're pretty new to this, I wold recommend starting in this order:
+Web Design - Covers the basics and helps explain how to plan out and build your site.
+Beginner Javascript - Gets you started on the basics of JS.
+Front-End Web Development - Continues on the basics (you'll have already completed some of the courses here if you did Web Design and JS first), as well as jumping in a bit deeper with OOP, JS, Ajax, etc. It also touches on Git basics (version control for code) and some other useful topics.
From there you should start to get a feel for what Front-End Development is like, what you enjoy (or don't enjoy) about the different pieces, and should be able to figure out where you want to go next.
Hope that helps, good luck!
