Where next after JavaScript Basics?

Hi,

I've just worked through the JavaScript basics course and feel a bit lost.

Where should I go from there? I cant seem to find an Intermediate course (like in other languages). If there is and I'm just not seeing it if you could link that would be brilliant!

I understood the content well but it left me feeling a bit rushed at the end, like there was a lot more that could have been covered - I was hoping there would be an obvious follow on course to start filling these gaps.

I really want to get a solid understanding of vanilla JavaScript before looking into node.js or jQuery etc.

Anyone have any reccomendations?

There's a course called Full Stack Javascript. Maybe give that a look: https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/full-stack-javascript

Starting to learn PHP would also be a recommendation if you're looking for something fresh and useful.

That course is the start of a collection (known as a "track") called Beginning JavaScript.
You might want to take the rest of that track.

Sorry I didn't write it correctly in the original post - that's the track I've just finished, it's moving on from there that I'm looking for. Thanks for responding!

In that case, I'd agree that Full Stack JavaScript might be the next step, and it does include several "intermediate" level courses.
