Additional learning tools

These are the resources I use, primary focus on RoR

http://javascriptissexy.com/ Very good JavaScript information, including backbone.js, node.js and in-depth into JS OOP

http://learncodethehardway.org/ Online books and exercises for Python, Ruby, C, Regex, SQL, and CLI.

http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Web Development with Rails.

http://railscasts.com/ RoR screencasts from Ryan Bates

The best way is to practise, practise, practise! Try to make your own html sites even if they are simple. But if you really need some exercises there is a free site called at www.codecademy.com.

If you want a book for reference or to work through, we do offer two books (HTML5 and CSS): http://shop.teamtreehouse.com/collections/all

But as @Jadwiga mentioned, practice makes perfect! Think of something you'd like to build, however small, and work on it. "Struggle-based learning" is extremely effective, and the Treehouse community is here to help you!

Get a codepen account and follow along with these exercises:

Thanks everyone! I'll check into each option.

Hi Ben. Do you guys ship the CCS3 and HTML5 books to London? I was planning on ordering them soon but I also have the option of having them sent to family in the US and they could mail them to me. Just wanted to know vis a vis shipping costs.

P.S. How long does it take to deliver within the U.S.?

Thanks

novice J - You can order them from amazon.com and they ship worldwide obviously.

Faye Bridge lives in London so she probably knows about shipping from the Treehouse store there.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know Amazon had them so I will order it there. Also didn't know you had a representative in London. Pretty cool. Great site here by the way.

Regards

novice J - Treehouse also has quite a few peeps out in Portland, Oregon in addition to their Orlando, Flordia studio.

P.S. - I don't work for Treehouse, I'm just a Treehouse user who spends too way much time on the forum.

, James Barnett! What would we do without you? :)
