Loyal to the Tree
When you want to learn something, you always search and typically
go to GOOGLE.
It is designed to solve your plumbing problems, help you with your
Thesis, and assist you in finding your dream home.
So when I was looking for a career change and thinking of going
into Web Development... and like most people, I did too go to
GOOGLE.
There were lots of Online Educational platform with good
recommendation but only TEAMTREEHOUSE that got my 100%
attention.
So why Treehouse? First is that their courses are mostly devoted
to beginners and newbies like me. Their school will make every
student understand the basic principles of coding and not get
intimidated by it.
They also have an integrated Workspace (their own
IDE version) that is capable of all the typical file
manipulations you need in a text editor, such as creating new
files, renaming them, moving them, and deleting them. You can also
upload your own files and projects from your computer.
Second, they are not BORING compared to the rest. With their expertise in CSS and Web Design, TEAMTREEHOUSE was able to make all their video courses come to life, making their students eager to watch for more. You can come in their site, watch their videos, and notice that you've been watching the entire day. That is how fascinating they are.
Third, is they give their students a
Sense of Accomplishment.
Whenever a student finishes a particular course or track, the
institution will give Points showing what they
accomplished. It gives the newbies a reward and a
"Pat in the Back" for their efforts and for the time that
they devoted to the course. It also encourages them to move on to
the next level making it faster to reach their goal.
In summary, TEAMTREEHOUSE gave me the roots and foundational skills to enter the Web Development World. Through them, I learned how to code and create projects for my own and for my valued clients.
As the years go by, while I was slowly transforming from Beginner
to Intermediate, I got the chance to meet other mentors in the Web
Development sector.
These New Mentors brought me to the path of taking advanced
courses to gain a deeper skill for me to be a
Full Pledge Full Stack Developer. During that time, I was
engaged with more Back-End development. Indulging in more Web
Frameworks, Server architecture, and Database administration.
Though I've matured as Web Developer, I always make it point to
come back to my Alma Mater TEAMTREEHOUSE whenever I have
the time.
I browsed through their new tracks and courses and also get
involved in their COMMUNITY forum by helping the Newbies
with their coding problems. It's my way of showing gratitude
towards the institution who gave me the key to a promising Web
Development career.
Until now, I am still learning from TEAMTREEHOUSE. Maybe
not much of coding but more of ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
Right now, I am getting positive inputs from
TEAMTREEHOUSE CEO and Founder Ryan Carson. Like every Web
Developer, I too have a deep interest in building my very own
Startup.
To give something of value, to acquire multiple users & customers,
and to monetize my site in the process. To scale up and growth
hack my way to success.
And the exact person that could help me with this, is no other
than the "King Of Education".
The guy who have 286,000 students in
190 countries and $15M in annual revenue...
TEAMTREEHOUSE CEO Ryan Carson.
He is one classic example that you can follow and hopefully
imitate to manufacture your own version of success.
I remember him saying...
"The secret of our success is by giving QUALITY video
courses".
And that should be everyone's Mantra. Giving out our best
and showing the prime quality in us. Taking a decent amount of
time to study and do research to build something that will be
valuable to everybody.
That's what TEAMTREEHOUSE taught me before, and that is what TEAMTREEHOUSE is teaching me still even to this very day.
