Hey everyone! We got a newbie here...

Hey yall. Just wanted to take a chance to introduce myself. I finally bought myself a new laptop today and immediately installed ubuntu and created a Treehouse account. I'm so excited to learn and hopefully meet some people through these forums.

Happy coding guys!

Haha I wish they had that as well, though you can add me on Skype: nxpazn13 if you want. I'm always on. This goes for anyone else here too. I'm on the website track to review.

Out of curiosity, what area(s) of coding are you most interested in learning?

I really want to get a good foundation first in design/front end development before i move onto the server side stuff. What do ya think?

I think that if that is where your interest lies, go for it! There are lots of us out there that understand the principles of design/front-end development but are more comfortable, or just like it better, doing back-end dev work. Certainly important to have a good grasp on both worlds, in my opinion.

Hey Joel,

I know you'll love Treehouse! Everyone on here is friendly and helpful. I am about 6 months in, and I'm loving it!

I wish you an awesome coding experience and a very Merry Christmas! :)
