752 PointsMore detail on the new 'Treehouse Points'?
Okay so when I first signed up to Treehouse It was mostly to achieve my dreams to become a 'Web Overlord', a sovereign of the interwebz (or just a freelancer with big ideas) AND partly to use the profile for credibility.
The profile can be seen publicly which is great but I think for those of us looking to link our profile to our website or bring it up in an interview / CV it would be great to have something the client or hiring company can look at and make sense of. Currently the points have no value. I have 600 odd points in HTML, but those points don't resemble anything. They don't indicate what level of skill I'm at, what the total is..ya know, how [i]good[/i] I am.

4,683 Pointsalso classify badges by topic when i'ts possible would be great...
right now they are all scrambled and don't make any sense.

Treehouse TeacherHi everyone,
This is great feedback! Rest assured, adding the concept of "Points" to Treehouse is just the beginning and we plan to do a lot more with them. I can't say much more than that because we're still working on a lot of rough ideas, but I think you'll be excited to see where things go over the next few months and later this year! :)
