"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?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

There isn't much I don't like! I've been very happy with Treehouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

I recommend everyone for learning the basics of the web site making. They explain all the steps of making web site very well and understandable. I did not check the other courses in that site but I bet they are also nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

If you can pay 25 dollars per month, it provides you great source of IT technology. But still you can find similar information free out there if you just do search more. Considering the video, instructor quality etc. I can recommend everyone to catch up with latest technologies in their focused areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

Combination of hands-on practice and very professionally done audiovisual learning with expert instructors in the field. Good use of gamification and a curriculum with the use of tracks to focus your learning. Being able to complete other tracks and carry over "credit" from previous tracks with the overlapping knowledge. I also enjoy the supplemental business courses included, enriching people's business and freelance skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

Not as many in-depth projects. No one-on-one mentoring. These features are included only in the more advanced Tech Degree program for $399/month, which is newly launched this year and much more expensive than the $25 per month plan. The basic plans mainly include forum support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

Like many online bootcamps, Treehouse is best used as a strong foundational supplement to other online courses. However, because of the vast library of material, high quality production values, and community in the forums, it seems to be one the strongest in being most likely to launch ready-to-hire entry level developers and enrich other freelance and business owners in enhancing their skills. Absolutely worth the basic membership fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am teaching myself to code in order to launch a web presence for my future business. I would like to add a secondary skill set which will serve my business without outsourcing. I am still in the process of training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

I'd happily recommend this to anyone looking to learn coding or any other technical skill that they offer a course in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping my skills up to date and developing new ones to keep my skills relevant in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

Vast amount of courses available, easy videos to follow as well as follow up tutorials and quizzes to test what you have been learning about.

Video tutorials are great for on the go, if you just want to listen to someone teaching you, rather than actually participating in the tasks, then there's the option for this, as well as learning as someone goes along with teaching you the subject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

Not all of the languages are on there, it also would be great if there was the option to learn about things that weren't in the IT sector, meaning that if there were other aspects of a business that you wanted to learn about, then there would be the option to also do this, it means that it would cater for more than just IT aspects of a business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

Great tool for learning whether it be for work or for your own personal development. Great for refreshers, or if a member of staff needs to learn a specific language. Most if not all of the languages are on the website so it makes it a good resource for learning bits here and there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Learning new languages in my spare time, keeps me refreshed and on top of new languages, as well as learning about old ones that are still being used.

I've been able to figure out better and easier ways of learning a language, as well as learning about subjects that might have been a little harder to understand due to tutorials not being as good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

Give a few of the free courses a go and evaluate before spending the money on a paid solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Treehouse?

TreeHouse is a solid platform that teaches you about different kind of technologies in a very unique way, I personally used this to learn new technologies, programming, app development and more things like website development related stuff. I used this as free user and I have nothing left to say more than this is one of the best education platforms I've used and I've used a couple out there like Coursera, PluralSight, and this is actually really good. Quality content is one of the main things here, you'll never see something without having properly preparation before, also practices area really efective so you don't learn just by watching or listening, you learn by trying what you already learned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Treehouse?

Honestly there is nothing I don't really like about tree house right now but It would be cool if people from another countries without access to the American currency could pay for it in another way. LATAM is really limited in all that refers e-learning platforms and I think if some companies give the chance to this people for accesing it would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Treehouse:

without any doubt this worth the price, I've used it in the trial period, and it's over now but I'm now thinking about paying for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There is not limit of age here, no matter how old are you, or if you studied another career, you can learn about everything, the method they are using is just unbelievable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
