I love the short sequences that allow you to squeeze your learning into whatever time you have available! I love earning badges and having something that represents my progress. I joined Treehouse while on maternity leave with my son and found that the sessions were just long enough to get in a session while the baby napped, a nice break from changing diapers and I returned to work with some great new skills I could put to use immediately.
I'd love to see some more classes that address digital marketing topics, this field changes so fast!
Worth a try, it probably doesn't appeal to every learning style but you won't know until you sign up and start a course. I love it and recommend to everyone who mentions wanting to learn to code!
Professional development
I joined a web design company a year ago having no background in web design or development. Using Team Treehouse made it possible for me to learn at my own pace and choose different types of coding languages to work with. It started out slow going because I was so foreign to the web developer world, but I've been learning HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and Swift. Having a base knowledge of these items in the back of my mind has been very helpful and provided some value-add when connecting with my clients.
The only thing I dislike is how long it's taken me to learn :) Luckily, I am a writer and digital strategist, not a web developer! As I said before, it's been slow-going. Some of the beginner courses are VERY basic and feel like a waste of time. I have to keep telling myself that you have to start somewhere. As I pass some of the very early levels, the classes have become more interesting.
If you are interested in coding but don't know how to get started, Treehouse has amazing tutorial videos that walk you through the process. It's awesome because there are checkpoints and rewards as you continue learning, which makes it fun!
Treehouse has been incredibly effective in broadening my pool of knowledge. As a writer and digital strategist, it's given me background in the technical aspect of web design and helped me learn what is and isn't possible when it comes to writing for the web.
I love how easy it is to learn. You watch a quick video and follow it up with an interactive session. The interactive piece is key.
There isn't much I don't like! I've been very happy with Treehouse.
I'd recommend deciding on a single track and sticking to it. Treehouse isn't super easy to switch back and forth. But, they do make it easy to stick within a single track and finish it.
I'm very happy with Treehouse. I've been using it for almost 2 years now. I started out with their HTML course as a refresher. I transitioned into learning Javascript and Java.
I'm using Treehouse to keep refreshed on the latest in each language and to learn new languages to grow my capabilities.
Treehouse has a vast amount of courses available. It is easy to navigate with both single classes and whole track to develop an entire skillset. The classes are very thorough with both theoretical knowledge, practical know and tests to help you retain what you lean.
If anything, it can be a little too thorough at times. There is some overlap between segments of course but usually not much and it helps to refresh.
I'd happily recommend this to anyone looking to learn coding or any other technical skill that they offer a course in.
Keeping my skills up to date and developing new ones to keep my skills relevant in the market.
I love Treehouse because it has a variety of learning methods. A course is thorough, with additional materials, community help, videos, and interaction. I learn best reading versus listening, so having a transcript to follow along with is a huge help.
I only dislike the lack of basic modules, covering debugging, good development practice... the more traditional aspects of software engineering that I think are good to understand as a web dev. I also think there should be earlier emphasis on writing secure code.
Try to come up with a learning plan that best suits your long term goals. There is a lot of information, and it's easy to get distracted by nice to have knowledge. That being said, I always try to have one additional interest area that I maintain by completing Treehouse lessons.
Treehouse has helped me be a more dynamic worker at all of the companies I've been with. I often serve as a knowledgeable second opinion on code quality, a backup for web troubleshooting, and a basic designer. I used to only do QA, and Treehouse helped me better understand where to look to challenge UX and functionality.
The tracks are well structured. I just started as a web developer but feel like I don't have a solid understanding for anything yet. The tracks made it easy for me to keep moving forward.
The price. The basic plan ($25) is alright but it's a lot pricier if you want to download contents/do projects.
Making my dream of becoming a developer more accessible.
