Will we learn Javascript in the php track?

I thought javascript was part of the track.

Hi Jonthue,

Javascript is covered in the Front end web development track.

You may use a bit of Javascript throughout the PHP track, but it won't go into detail about it.

Hope this helps :)

So do php developers end up learning more Front end web development anyways?

Yep, you really need to have at least a basic understanding of HTML/CSS to code in PHP. Helps to know some Javascript as well, especially if you want to use something like AJAX to update information on your page without refreshing it (twitter is a good example of this).

Learn the front-end first, then use PHP to make your websites dynamic.

Hope this helps :)

The PHP track touches on JavaScript and includes the jQuery course, but if you really want to learn JavaScript you need to do other courses as well.
