Track completed - what next?

Hi guys,

I just finished the Full track on Front End Web Developer (scary..!). Even though it's 'over' and I have kind of done small personal projects, I don't have confidence at all on starting the Tech Degree on Front End right away.

Have anyone done this without prev knowledge? is it best to keep doing more courses here at TreeHouse? if so, any recommendation? I'm specially struggling with JS, but I don't obviously want to forget HTML or CSS which I don't believe I have strong skills. I am just concerned I get stuck in the middle of the degree, and it is not as 'cheap' as the normal 'courses'.

Any advise would be very much appreciated :) thank you!

If you want to reinforce and expand your skills, there are plenty other self-study tracks you could take. like Learn HTML or Full Stack JavaScript. Plus, there are additional courses for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript available in the Library that are not part of any track.

There are many workshops and practices you can do in Treehouse to reinforce your knowledge. You said you have made some small projects. Maybe you could try something a bit bigger. Challenge yourself to make something that will make your life easier or more pleasant. Next time you say "I wish there was a..." then you have your project (but not too big, of course). Even if you ultimately don't finish it, you'll learn much along the way. And you can always come back to it later as your skills increase.

Hi both,

thank you for getting back, appreciated it :) I thought about the Full Stack JS, but I think the content is too large (I still work full time on something that has nothing to do with IT), and I can't really get focus on just JS as I will probably end up forgetting everything else :P But I have selected a few courses from the library and will take it from there :)
