New website!

You could probably avoid learning any backend code. Is this your first time in programming at all? If so, here are my recommendations:

Go to 'tracks,' click on 'Front End Web Development.' I would honestly recommend the whole thing from beginning to end-- but as it says, I believe it is almost 60 hours of learning...

In the event that it is too much for you, I would start by doing at least the first three parts of the track, the "How to Make a Website," "CSS Basics," and "JavaScript Basics."

That should be enough for you to get started and begin to understand what you still lack. In the end, I would recommend using JSON and AJAX to do all of your snippets and dynamic loading of what shows are current, upcoming, etc.

There's a lot to do. I've probably spent a few hundred hours learning on here, plus time on the side of course just doing personal projects and small client things... And I still feel way too new to do anything very substantial.

Don't be disheartened though! There is so much that you WILL be able to do that you couldn't before-- even after just a few hours. Becoming a coding Jedi is a long process.

PS: When it comes to learning JavaScript, my favorite part of coding, I would recommend not JUST using TreeHouse. This is a wonderful site, but also try following this beginner's study guide and completing the end challenge:

Good luck, Marcus! I wish you the best!
