A website like teamtreehouse.com

Hello all,

Aside from html, css, what else do I need to learn to be able to create a site like this?

Thanks,

Alex

To use the same langauges...Javascript and Ruby on Rails as a minimum. They are using some JS templateing frameworks like hogan.js; so JS would be important.

You could build a site like this in other languages too though. Especially the server side stuff. I'm sure Python or PHP could both handle it, picking from popular options.

BuiltWith seems to be fairly reliable in figuring this stuff out for websites.

Treehouse is written in Ruby on Rails, so you'd obviously need to learn Ruby and then the Rails framework. Also, there's a fair deal of front-end interactivity involved in a site like this, so you'd need to learn JavaScript, too.
