Treehouse Overview

What is Treehouse?

Treehouse is an online technology school that offers beginner to advanced courses in web design, web development, mobile development and game development taught by a team of expert teachers. Its courses are aimed at beginners looking to learn coding skills and embark on a career in the tech industry. In May 2016, Treehouse launched the Techdegree program, a comprehensive learning program focused on helping people learn the skills they need to start a tech career. Through earning a Techdegree certification, a student will challenge themselves, deepen their skills, and prove their knowledge to potential employers. All in 6-12 months, on their own schedule. Treehouse believes that understanding, communicating with and controlling technology is a fundamental skill that everyone should have the opportunity to learn. Through learning with Treehouse, each student is given the opportunity to learn the valuable skills they need — whether they have existing, little or no previous experience — to confidently take control of their future.

"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.

The ability to create custom tracks in addition to the library offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

I'd love to see some more classes that address digital marketing topics, this field changes so fast! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

The price. The basic plan ($25) is alright but it's a lot pricier if you want to download contents/do projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Making my dream of becoming a developer more accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

I like the interactivity and variation of the courses and the thoughtfulness of how it's presented. The videos were a great way to mix up the information and the tests made it easy to track your progress. One thing that I found helpful was the course tracks. It allowed me to share with my boss and justify the use of Treehouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

Not much! Maybe they could offer a blog? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to brush up their CSS skills. It's great for beginners, and also great for brushing up if you've been away from developing for a bit. It's also very useful for learning other coding and design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've used it to brush up on CSS for certain project requirements and also used it to try and learn PHP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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.

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.
