Looking for a project to put your newly found code skills to use?

I'm just passing this along, as I found it today. The concept looks cool, and if you're wondering what you can build to practice your skills, I think this site can help solve that.

It won't replace our beloved Treehouse, but the mini-project/lesson idea is cool.

Interesting. While learning how to code, for me it's nice to have a structured class type of thing. But I think to really understand what you are coding and what it really does, making real websites is the way to go. I'll sign up and give it a whirl.

I agree. I think going through the structure of how Treehouse is set up is great to really get the foundation laid. Once you're ready to try something on your own, this site might have a cool new project to give it a whirl. I haven't watched any of their videos yet so I don't know how much depth or quality they have, but either way.

Heres kind of similar post to this , in a way.

*EDIT: You can allways then copy it with serverside language and JS.

Treehouse should have a full project with HTML/CSS then JS and PHP from ground .*

I like the idea of this. Treehouse could do similar projects for intermediate users to implement multiple technologies into one app.

They could make like HTML /CSS layout and then for PHP students do PHP nd for Ruby on Rails, do Ruby on Rails. And add JS put it in WP if it's PHP and then maybe use python in another project etc.. And finally connect that to a app Java and C.

Love Treehouse! but more full stack projects please for the intermediate users as @cassac mentioned. Ideas?

  • A membership site, backend admin with user profiles, handling payments, user roles
  • Your favorite movies with trailers and cover art(from Udacity)
  • How about a tutorial site that handles users and they have portfolios..

Look it does not need to be fully fledged, just minimal viable product, once students get the concept they can build on top. This will put Tutsnacks ontop, the teaching style is great and engaging, with more complex projects? BOOM!

If Treehouse is working on it, please give us some updates...

@Kevin Korte, have you try that website (code4startup), how was your experiences I am curious? Should we learn that to add in our portfolios examples?
