There's a good amount of material to follow and the instruction is mostly clear. They are supportive, cost competitive and you can take your time learning.
The lack of material to accompany videos. There are transcripts of each video, but helpful notes to follow doesn't exist. Starting and stopping videos is frustrating.
Learning technology.
The structure of tree house courses were really well designed. They don't assume you know anything and hold your hand every step of the way. The courses also evolve into building real world applications, with room to expand if you're feeling confident.
Some of the videos and courses felt a little too gimmicky. Too much production value that didn't actually help enhance the course in any way. Also a common downfall with code courses is teaching by rote memorization or repetition instead of explaining what's going on under the hood.
This was solving the problem of lack of web tech understandings. The videos built a solid foundation to go out and actually learn other computer science fundamentals and programming languages.
Team treehouse has very professional teachers which makes you feel you are taking courses from professionals. Provides very current technologies and helping system works all the time well. Assignments makes you understand well the course because you can not continue or win a badge if you cannot pass the assignment. I think it s a nice feature.
I think it is a bit expensive. They can determine price for each course packs seperately and unlimited access that would be better for everyone.
I took courses in order to make my own website about architecture. Actually I have hired a web master but I want to double check him and understand what he does exactly on my website.
I am interested in wordpress and teamtreehouse provides great course for it. Most of the instructors are really good at their job and teaching very understandable for beginners. They always keep content up to date and making new courses depending on the technology. Also there is library in team treehouse which you can find any topic you want for example integrating php with databases or seo for wordpress. I really liked the variety of courses in this site.
Their price is really high actually. They do not offer any free course which is so bad because I think that not everyone can pay 25 dollars per month especially if you do not live in countries with different currencies. I think that teamtreehouse should decrease their price or make some courses free and get commercials etc. in order to expand their customer range.
I am focused on wordpress and php in order to develop myself in those areas. Also I am focused on SEO for my job and treehouse gives always updated information about these areas.
The ability to create custom tracks in addition to the library offered.
When assigning custom tracks, you cannot just assign an individual to it Or, the flexibility to take more than one track at a time
Online upskilling opportunities
I like the user accessibility and easy access to Treehouse.
I dislike how there are paid courses, and public comments.
I have been able to learn multiple coding languages such as C#, C++, Java, JavaScript and Python.
I like that you get detailed lectures on certain topics while later having the chance to enforce them in quizzes and coding assignments.
Some of the videos seem outdated & it would be great if they extend their Techdegree to other tech stacks.
Teaching tech skills to those who want to learn – having a curriculum that targets what I want to learn helped a lot.
Self-paced. Some of the teaching assistants were helpful. Less expensive than most traditional bootcamps.
Lots of the content was outdated. This meant having to downgrade components to follow along, and having to learn the modern/current ways to do things on my own. There was zero mention of unit/integration testing which seems like a glaring omission. Every interview I've had wants me to write automated testing. I'm having to learn that now and feel like it should have been part of all of our Treehouse projects. Some of the content felt rushed/tacked on as a band-aid solution to the outdated content. Most were not helpful. Some of the projects were kind of lame, I did not include most in my portfolio. Lastly, the "Techdegree" branding is annoying. It looks like a typo, and employers don't know what it is. I have to explain it's , "basically a bootcamp" to everyone.
Learning modern JavaScript libraries
