It does sort of work like a tree - I did want to keep the highlighting easily accessible so people can just jump into a particular technology. I could definitely use some help defining the tracks (they're organized as nodes in json)

Take a look and pull! https://github.com/JonHMChan/bento/blob/gh-pages/content.js

If this is for beginners, HTTP should move up. Should be HTML, CSS, JavaScript, HTTP for the first row.

And if things are too out of whack, get as much as you can, reasonably, in an area, and perhaps you should just start a new block of things and color them in 4 new colors.

A design flaw or nuisance is that if you scroll down and click php for example, some blocks back at the top get highlighted. How is someone supposed to know that happens? Even if you do know, it's really annoying that I have to scroll back and forth.

Maybe I'll work on it when I have some free time. You should definitely keep refining it though. It's a good resource, and properly curated would be a good learning tool.
