Treehouse TeacherIt would be awesome to have all that! A lot of that is on our roadmap in some form or other, and some of it is already available. Have you seen Mat Helme's Exercise Your Creative series? He talks about logo design and some Adobe products, though the format is different than our normal courses. Also, keep an eye on our public roadmap as we will add new courses there as they come down the pipe. Photoshop Foundations is currently in progress, for example.

2,939 PointsWould like to add Node.js and Express framework in this list! I really want tutorials on these subjects. Yes I know there's classes offered on lynda.com, codeschool.com, peepcode.com and tekpub.com, not to mention books published on that subject, but I would prefer it here on teamtreehouse :)

838 PointsThese are great suggestions guys! We're definitely hard at work developing new content for the 2013 school year :D We really appreciate all your input, these are great ideas! Keep them coming, and stay tuned. As Ben said, "keep an eye on our public roadmap as we will add new courses there as they come down the pipe"!!!

4,198 PointsI'd like to see the iOS App tutorials updated more often with the new Obj-C and xcode language add-ons / improvements.
For example: code implementation using storyboards has changed when working with delegates(unwind) and it will be a really good idea to discuss those topics since it gets easily confused with previous xcode versions.
A tuts on UICollection basics and advanced that would be awesome.
A Core Data app with the master-detail template for iPad only or universal.
By the way, the forum page is an excellent idea!!

5,089 PointsI would like to see a full course on SEO. There's already a section in the 'How to Market Your Business' course, but there's a lot more to learn.
Things like:
- Keyword research
- Title and H1 elements
- Meta elements
- Canonical and 301 redirects
- 404s
- Anchor text
- URLs
- Content freshness
- Site speed
- Sitemaps
- Backlinks
- Social media
- Google Webmaster Tools
- Google+ authorship
- SEO for WordPress
- What not to do with SEO
Something like a more digestible version of this SEO course by Neil Patel and Sujan Patel.
If the goal of Treehouse is to get people into web industry jobs, then this would be a good course, since there is a big demand for white-hat SEO professionals.

You can fill in the gaps with Beginner's Guide to SEO from SEOMoz

- You might be interested in the Database Foundations course, which launched today

6,040 PointsI really enjoy the exercise your creative courses. Would love to see more. Your doing a great job treehouse keep up the great work. I think one of the most valuable things you have done is create learning paths through the learning adventures considering all the noise and directions one can go with web and computer technologies it's nice to have some guidance.
My advice to those who wish to learn illustrator and photoshop ... TUTORIALS... and lots of them.... step by step project tutorials. There are tons of them online for free and they are much more affective than watching tutorials on tools and capabilities of the program. You also need to define a learning objective when learning these programs because what is possible is almost endless and it will take years before you become an expert in it.
Finally don't forget to play and experiment, make mistakes and break things this is how you truly learn to master your skills.

Francesco Belvedere

Pascal Klau
15,748 PointsWhat about a poll where people can select the topics they wanna learn about next?
Codeschool has a nice system.

Courses Plus Student 30 PointsI'd really love to see a pure javascript course. For example the AJAX section starts out strong with the Pure Javascript then switches to jQuery. I want a core competency in vanilla JS without Having jQuery forced down my throat.
