Printable list of courses in a single track?

I'm currently working on the Web Design track, and it would be really helpful if there was a quick, printable list for all included courses - I'd like to be able to share it with my employer so they know what I'm working on and what comes next.

Is something like this already available? Am I just looking in the wrong place?

Hi Lisa, that's an interesting idea, although I don't think there's such a facility in place at the moment.

What kind of detail are you looking for in such a list? A list of the achievements? Stages and lesson names or just the names of the courses?

Hi Jonathan,

At the simplest level even just a more printer-friendly version of the listing of courses for an <a href="http://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/web-design">individual track</a>, the stages and lesson names would be a nice-to-have (maybe with estimated time).

The print preview view of a track page looks pretty ugly, so that's what led me to wonder if maybe there was already something available instead of transposing all the details into a Word DOC or spreadsheet.

For more old-school employers, having something to print makes it much easier to digest, they might not be as receptive to a link. So a high-level overview of what courses are part of a track would be an excellent start.

I would definitely agree with you.

The only thing I'd say is something on print, like a PDF or a printed cheat sheet would probably be more time consuming and expensive to maintain. Also the teachers do make updates to the tracks from time to time so they'd have to be changed there too.

It might be a pain but what I would do is copy from the courses, (unfortunately you have to click for the stages of each course) and then copy them on to an at a place word document that you can the check off

You can definatley recommend it as a feature though to help@teamtreehouse.com and see what they say. I think it'd be a great idea to support some students as we all learn in different ways.

I wasn't sure if there were certain styles added to a page that would manipulate the print-preview version (and then you wouldn't need multiple updates across sections), but for the time being that works too!

I just might do that, thank you!

Hi Lisa, yes you can use CSS media queries to do just that. If you use @media print {} media feature it'll tap into the browser print preview and you can view the changes from there. Guil talks about this is one of his courses in CSS Foundations, so you have the same control of how CSS is presented on print as you do on screen. :-)

Good luck.
