Next Set of Courses & Recommendations

Firstly, awesome Job guys !! I have been a member for about 4 months. I am trying to focus on front-end web development and app development (both native Andriod and iOS) however am facing the following issues.

  1. Front-end development: - I would like to have some more advanced material. I want to learn more but an not sure how ?
  2. App Development
    a. Since Swift is the the newest thing, I really want to focus on Swift. Are you guys gonna release some advanced swift courses ? Such as frameworks (COCOA) with Swift, Sprite with Swift, Data persistence (both on the phone and externally) with Swift, how to access things like GPS, Contacts etc. b. In general again, need more advanced courses for Swift and Android.

I see the courses that will be coming out soon at Treehouse and feel that Treeshouse is focusing on breadth and not at all on depth. Let me know if I am incorrect.

Thanks, Hope to hear from you guys soon !

  1. For more advanced front-end development, you can always go the the Library and sort by difficulty in topics relevant to your learning. However, it seems lots of Advanced courses are content only available for Pro members. In the case where you can't find more advanced courses because of your membership status, you can always search Google/Youtube for advanced topics.

  2. Judging solely on your points (correct me if I'm wrong), I'd guess that you're not too far into any app development, right? If that is the case, I'm optimistic that by the time you finish up the iOS, Swift or Android Development tracks, there will be more content. Even if that isn't the case, I'm sure more content is being worked on :)

To submit content suggestions, you can email help@teamtreehouse.com with the subject being "Content Suggestion".

I have noticed, the up and coming courses show some javascript frameworks like Angular for example. This is as advanced as it gets at the moment with front-end dev, they will be very interesting courses.

There more advanced topics that are available with a gold account. If you'd like try them out, you can wait until a week or so before your regular membership is up, then choose to upgrade. This will give you access to gold membership content, at reduced extra price added on to your current month. It's a good way to test out gold, and deciding to maybe choose to upgrade for the following month. Besides upgrading, you can just wait for newer courses to be released.

I have a feeling the method Treehouse is taking is part of a bigger picture. I'm certain you'll start to notice more advanced material in the future, but you might check out the workshops, since they cover things in more depth.
