any more challenges?

Hello, I'm very new to Treehouse and I'm a bit confused. I am loving the videos and challenges so far but I feel like I could use a bit more challenges or practice assignments to review what I've just learned. Is there a section on this site for me to do that or is it just the challenges after the videos?

thanks!

Hey Will Morales,

This recent forum discussion should answer your questions and give you a little insight into what we're working on for practice projects. :)

I think that by using your knowledge of what you've learned, research more in to it, and not just on tree house. Find what you are interested in so far and go deep in to it. If you practice this hard and experiment, you will be better and more successful.

there are only a certain number of challenges for each course. Have you seen the extra credit assignments that are at the bottom of the videos? Those allow to get a little more practice on your own, however I dont believe they have solutions available.

Yep! Extra credit assignments are awesome. If you ever needed any help with them, you could always reach out to the community for assistance or to see if you got them right.

As with any bit of learning you do, you are your biggest challenge (adapted from: you are your own worst enemy ;p) Keep challenging yourself in whatever you do. Learning iOS? Build a simple app. Doesn't have to be anything complex, but it'll help you lock in the skills further. Learning web development? Build a website. Help people with your newfound knowledge in these awesome forums! That's a great way to lock in stuff you just learned, too.

Thank you all for your responses! They've been helpful. For now, it looks like we just have to get started on our own projects to be able to put into practice what we are learning AS we are learning it, bummer! However, it also sounds like Team Treehouse is working on giving us a solution to this ongoing issue. Something to look forward to... Thanks again!
