Becoming a Full-stack Developer with Treehouse

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty ambitious when it comes to using Treehouse - I love the tracks on offer and I think the breadth of topics is seriously good.

That being said, I'm struggling to figure out a good route covering multiple tracks. What do people think is the best way to progress from no coding experience (I have a bit of HTML and CSS exp) to becoming full-stack using multiple tracks?

i.e. in what order should I take the tracks on offer to get there? There's so many on offer I just don't know!

Cheers!

I really don't think there is a correct answer to this but here is a couple of suggestions:

  • Start with the front-end track to learn the html and css - then move on to the full-stack javascript.
  • Start with the front-end track to learn the html, css, javascript and jQuery - then go take the php track for the back-end

Keep in mind that you can use RoR, python etc., instead of the php track - I only used the php track in the example cause it's very popular in my area :-)

Good Luck, Happy Coding! :-D

Leon Morris focus on the last part where he said "I only used the php track in the example cause it's very popular in my area :-)" Find out what is popular in your area and make that your backend language.
