I am caught up between Udacity nano degree and treehouse tech degree. I want to learn front end and javascript.

I know this is treehouse forum but still, any suggestions? why i should choose one from other? what is tech degree and what is nano degree? the difference in course material?

I'm having the same doubt about the programs. Can you please share your experience about the first months?

Hi Peter,

We're seeing more and more of our Students find jobs with their Techdegree. I hope you give it a try!

Best, Ryan

Thanks Ryan Carson! I'm really amazed what you are doing at Treehouse (and please keep doing it!), so I will definitely give a shot later on. Do you have any kind of page where students are sharing their experiences? Not just the filtered and picked ones, but kind of a list or something to browse through them.

Hey Peter

We don't have a place where students post reviews of Techdegree - I'm sorry! Don't forget though that there's a free trial so you can give it a spin ?

Best Ryan

Hi Suyesh

The Techdegree has more graded projects, so you'll learn more. We also have a final proctored exam, which will ensure you've learned the skills.

Finally, we have full time Teachers who constantly update our curriculum and work extremely hard to make the courses cohesive and easy to understand.

Hope you go with us! ?

Best Ryan
