I love the way these videos are presented. For me, it is much easier to learn. I would love to see Node.js covered. Any thoughts?

I personally think Treehouse is just one way to learn things and focusing on the "Middle Users", maybe you better check it somewhere else and try some other sections here (Such as 'Design', 'Mobile App', etc.)
Sean Templeton
12,983 PointsI agree too. Node.js would be great to learn on treehouse. I've tried learning it myself, but the whole "Middleware" stuff is always confusing. Having treehouse explain stuff like that would be amazing.

17,973 PointsI'm really interested on any js courses jquery, backbone, ember, node!
I often check around other schools and take some courses but I have to say teamtreehouse is def the best one out of all of them! Things are much better explained and much easier to learn here than anywhere else!
In terms of quantity/quality I think treehouse produces a lot of content and keeps up delivering amazing courses, of course there a lot of free youtube videos but often boring, slow!
I have tried to do a video tutorial and it is really hard, I couldn't even type properly! not to mention you might have to talk/explain while you are coding!
Anyway this post has now become too long and I only wanted to say that there are many school or videos out there but treehouse is the best and if this is a suggestion for js courses Im giving my +1 too!

15,805 PointsI agree, Treehouse has the best learning structure and methods. :)

39,199 PointsBrendan Martin - I kinda think of it like buying multiple books on the same topic. I kinda doubt there are any JavaScript programmers that say they learned everything they needed to know about JS from one book
I don't work for Treehouse, that's just my 2 cents.
I think there is excellent web development content on Treehouse, code school, lynda.com & tuts plus they are all worth the price. There are some people on here that pause there Treehouse subscription for a month when go to another site to do a course on another site.

39,199 PointsMaking a course takes a few months and it's not currently on the roadmap so if you don't want to wait, a good option is to use an existing resource.

2,853 PointsI understand the reasoning for learning from multiple sources, and I agree with the premise. But I have to side with Brendan Martin on this one, I already pay good money (which I think is well spent) on this site. I don't want to end up paying well over $100 per month for tutorial websites just so I can have different sources at my disposal.

39,199 PointsI'm just another paying member of Treehouse and given the cost of a class at a community college it seems like a pretty good return on investment to me. One thing a lot of people do is to pause their subscriptions on the various sites and only do one course at a time.
