Treehouse Reviews

Learning through teamtreehouse is great as it allows fo the easy understanding of topics that are at high level of understanding ;In addition to that, the workspace feature allows you code along with the instructor so that you can solidify your learning through practice.

Content is updated regularly to reflect changes on the information provided.

Additional useful learning material is provided on the teacher's notes.

I went from knowing absolutely nothing to being very confident on any task or challenge I put myself during the course of a project.

Had a tough time installing ubuntu on my pc window but thanksfully a slack teacher reached out and within half an hour I was good to go!

Solves many issues on regards introducing new software and languages, even after my techdegree on front end web development

Treehouse makes tech feel accessible. I appreciate that there are courses in topics from Computer Literacy to App development. Having options like that on the same platform made me feel like I belonged in the field, which is a big deal in a world where imposter syndrome is so common. I never felt like an imposter trying to teach myself to code here, I didn't have to feel embarrassed about how little I knew starting out. The courses made sense to me then, and 3 years later as a fully self-taught, fully employed Senior Front End Developer, I am still growing by using treehouse.

The only thing I've ever really wanted for on treehouse is practice problems. I know between videos you have quiz style practice, which is great, but having a database of practice problems, filterable by topic, would be incredible. If you've heard of the platform edabit.com - their whole deal is practice problems and I love them so much. Maybe you could acquire them and connect the two. I would die. Their platform is buggy but I love the idea and the UI.

The desire for freedom in my career pushed me into coding, but the field felt impossible to break into. Treehouse is instrumental in bridging that gap for people who feel like I did (and do). I had no experience at all in tech, no degree... I was starting from absolute zero. I was one of the few people in my generation who didn't use myspace.. so I had never even seen HTML or CSS before. Here I am three years later, a Senior Front End Developer still using treehouse, and it continues to be challenging and relevant coursework. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of everything I want to learn, and new courses come out all the time. For one platform to be so relevant to someone as baby level as I was then and still relevant to me and people way beyond me is incredibly unique. And at $25 a month?? You can't beat that. It's so affordable.

My team has used Treehouse as a supplemental learning resource for seven-plus years. The variety of web application development topics addressing many skill levels has kept us engaged. Treehouse has a smooth learner experience and interfaces that don't get in the way and make it easy to pick up where you left off. For managers, we have sensible visibility into our team members' progress on assigned materials. The community forum is active and helpful.

Our only real hiccup was the lack of process around yearly invoicing, which seems to have been fixed recently. Nice!

All learning resources like this will have gaps in coverage or stale material. Treehouse has done an excellent job of keeping things current, so this is not a major concern.
