What do you like best about Treehouse?

What I like best about treehouse is it's easy to find and keep track of what it is you are learning. For example coding languages are all groups together, easy to get to and a course or track as it's called is simple to get back to. There are also one off videos within libraries to watch which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

I would really like for treehouse to release content faster. I can see what's coming out in the next few weeks or month. But waiting on an ES6 course for example while other course websites have content makes me go to competing websites where I can buy a one off course on that topic.

The iPad app was also buggy when rotating from landscape to portrait the videos weren't resizing to 100% width but that may be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Treehouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a great tool to learn and keep up to date with programming. For beginner and intermediate developers it's perfect. Treehouse is even coming out with more advanced videos like building desktop apps with Electron. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It sets a good foundation for python & java programming."
I like that you get detailed lectures on certain topics while later having the chance to enforce them in quizzes and coding assignments.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Treehouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

TeamTreeHouse was one of the first websites I came across when I started to learn to program. The layout of the website is very crisp and the videos are very well done and go into a thorough explanation of the topic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

Sometimes I feel like the scope of the lessons and the tech degree are a bit narrow. I took the Python development track and felt like even though it gave good fundamentals, there could have been more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Treehouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Overall, I feel like Treehouse is geared more towards beginners and that's where I think it shines. Although they do provide more advanced topics, I feel like they do a better job when it comes to introducing people who are new to coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

Before starting the Front-End Web Development course I had a semi-technical background as an SEO. I was familiar with the basics of front-end web development but didn’t really understand the nuts and bolts, or where to start looking to improve my comprehension.

Treehouse’s organized course layout and excellent instructor-led videos were exactly what I needed to bring my understanding to the next level. Being able to code along while you learn new functions and concepts was a very intuitive way to learn. I enjoyed building a small website totally from scratch alongside the instructor, as this was a confidence-inspiring way to get the fundamentals down.

After finishing the course - I felt as if I was equipped with what I needed to start working on my own projects and building a portfolio website to demonstrate my capabilities. Treehouse does a great job of providing its learners with valuable supplemental resources for you to lean on when you inevitably stumble upon something you don’t exactly know how to do just yet.

All-in-all, I was very impressed. I found the whole experience to be a bargain for what you pay!

I’m looking forward to taking some more intermediate-level courses covering API’s and Ruby. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

I didn't find many shortcomings in my experience. This is a stretch, but supplying even more supplementary resources would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Treehouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Compressing a wealth of technical knowledge into a time-efficient and easy-to-digest format. The small details of Treehouse (like the badges you earn at the end of each section and personal progress meter) made the experience more engaging and made me want to spend more time progressing towards my goal.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

Using treehouse to obtain a full stack javascript tech degree was an amazing experience. Not only are lessons broken down so anyone who is interested in coding, no matter their background, can understand and apply what they've learned. The unique aspect that sets Treehouse apart is the supportive slack community that includes students but also student success advocates that are employed by Treehouse. They are familiar with all coursework and projects so they are able to help effectively - but they go the extra mile. They take the time to explain the concepts that they are helping with so you won't make that mistake again or truly understand it this time around. Treehouse is always updating their courses, as technology is always changing, to make sure they are setting students up with the most recent and up-to-date information to be successful in the tech space job market. Treehouse has given me the confidence to believe I can make it in the tech space without a college degree in computer science and with no advanced math classes under my belt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

the only thing that I think could be worked on is more up-to-date courses, this can be hard because technology is always changing so I can imagine it's hard to keep up. They do a good job of retiring courses and replacing them with more up to date ones, but possibly a faster process would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Treehouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Treehouse is solving the problem of where to start if you want to start a career or hobby in tech/coding. The subject matter from afar is very intimidating, Treehouse breaks it down. They provide coursework that breaks everything down into digestible pieces. This allows people from all walks of life to understand the foundational pillars of coding and how to build on them to garner more knowledge and apply it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

I liked that there was a slack community that you can reach out to when you need help! Whether it is answering a conceptual question or help with a project. I also loved the quizzes and projects we worked on. It helped me solidify the knowledge I was learning in the lectures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

The only thing I disliked was that we could only submit one project per week. A lot of times it took around that time or longer but occassionally, I could have submitted it earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Treehouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Treehouse is solving the accessibility to learning. Treehouse is an affordable version of any other coding bootcamp that I saw before I found Treehouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Treehouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Treehouse provides an organized and enjoyable way to initiate or deepen tech skills at a very reasonable cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
