I think it depends on what you're interested in.

As far as conventional web development goes the Front End Web Development track is a good choice. From there you can choose other areas of focus, or new languages all together. Keep in mind that once you've learned a programming language it becomes easier to pick up a new one. A lot of the programming fundamentals is constant among languages.

If you're interested in app development the Beginner Android Development or Beginner iOS Development tracks are good options depending on if you are an Android or iPhone person.

The main thing to take away from what I'm saying is to look through all of the Treehouse Tracks and choose the one that interests you the most!

Happy coding! :smile:
