it's recommended to take JQuery Basics first, but the opposite is said on the JQuery Basics page. :D

I would do Javascript basics followed by interactive web pages, then once you are confident in plain Javascript move on to JQuery basics.

Andrew Chalkley seems like you've got a chicken and egg issue going here.

I think Matteo Mainardi saw it in the middle of me changing it around.

Let me know if you see any paradoxes!

Andrew Chalkley I believe Matteo is referring to the teacher's notes on the overview video of the 'Interactive Web Pages with javascript' course (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/interactive-web-pages-with-javascript/javascript-and-the-dom/overview), where 'jQuery Basics' is listed as a prerequisite. On the main page of the jQuery Basics course, 'Interactive Web Pages with Javascript' is a prerequisite.

Andrew Chalkley This problem is still not tended to, just saying.

Sorry about that. Teacher notes are updated to match the hard pre-requisites programmed in the app.

Hi, I am querious why you are not updating the teacher's note with the new JavaScript Basics you can do here on teamtreehouse? It is so much better then the JavaScript Foundations where many people have refered that they are confused while doing the course? :)

Me personally felt that JavaScript Basics was awesome, really easy to understand and I think more people would be far more intrested if they had to go via "JavaScript Basics" instead of "JavaScript Foundations" as you suggest.

Or is it some other reason you won't do this change in the teachers note?

Hey Caspar Palmgren Kjäll

JavaScript Basics is awesome, but we're waiting on another course from Dave McFarland to be released to completely cover all necessary topics covered in JavaScript Foundations. These two courses will supersede JavaScript Foundations and will become the new prerequisites to all of our JavaScript courses.

Regards
Andrew

Thank god and the team Treehouse for bringing a new JavaScript course. I was completely lost in the last stage (objects) of JavaScript Foundations by Jim Hoskins. Can't wait to study the new course soon!
