Hey guys,

Just a quick question. I’m learning to code with freeCodeCamp. I have the first 2 certificates, but I don’t really care about front-end development. I don’t know, I just don’t feel it, it’s more designing than coding actually. I’m really happy I learned it, but I don’t think front-end is something I want. Can I skip the front-end libraries & Data visualisation certificates so I can start by back-end? Or do I need all those front-end certificates before progressing to back-end? Let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Short answer: No, you don’t need to complete all the frontend certs. You can jump to backend if that interests you more.

I would also recommended checking out backend tutorials on freeCodeCamp’s YouTube channel to see what interests you.

Not really. Skipping them is a choice as long as you know HTML and JS
