Showing TTH progress to an employer.

A career counselor has asked to view my progress that I've made here at TTH. How do I show my achievements to someone so they can get a better understanding of the work I've done (aside from giving them my login info)? Is just giving them a link to my profile the only way to show them my work? Thanks.

Hi, Dana. If you give someone the URL to your profile (http://teamtreehouse.com/ryanfield in my case), they will be able to see all your points and badges without you giving them your login information.

Thanks Ryan...I was thinking that was the only route to showing off achievements.

No problem! If you wanted to go further and build a more viewer-friendly version of your points and badges, you can also access all of your info by adding .json to the end of your user profile, which will return all of your data in a JSON object, which you can then feed into a page (via AJAX or some other method). :)

Interesting, I might try that. Thanks.

Ryan, do you know if there is a "how to" forum topic or video here at TTH to achieve this?

I don't think there's a how-to specifically on how to do this, but I have a pen over here that imports all of my badges and displays them on a page. It's done with jQuery's $.ajax() method, and is pretty simple.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.
