Shut up and take my money! - Javascript lessons

Dear Team Treehouse,

I love the stuff you do and I am appreciated for your time and effort you put in to the Treehouse.

I WOULD LOVE to see on board Javascript lessons. Kicking off with basics and moving to more advanced stuff and in the future NODE.JS.

That would be awesome! :D

Do let me know is possible to see them on horizon in the coming weeks/months ^^

Greetings from sunny Singapore! Evo

I know about JavaScript Foundations but I am looking forward to continue it, maybe some real, more complex apps and moving to more advanced stuff and then server side Javascript.

If you are looking to learn intermediate JavaScript in the meantime, you can check out the JavaScript path over at Code School

I honestly started Javascript at Codecademy.com - I know both TTH and CA teach different ways and sometimes it works for you, or not. In any case - I found the JS courses at CA to be more hands on so it helped me learn the basics, but I like the html/css courses here because they go in to detail.

If you already know the basics or want to reinforce that knowledge, try another site. The path to greater knowledge is a long and arduous one, but most of the good things in life aren't easy.

Good luck :D!

Codecademy is actually what led me to sign up here. I breezed through the HTML/CSS courses because I knew most of it already. When I got to jQuery, the assignments got more vague, but it was still doable.

However, I noticed that it would start passing my code when my object, for example, a sprite, wouldn't be draggable or move up and down. I ended up scouring their forums to figure out why it wouldn't work and correcting it. Someone might think their work was valid and move on, without having learned much.

So I finished the jQuery, then moved on to Javascript. From there, it just got ridiculously vague. Certain parts of it really failed to explain what it wanted me to do, and the hints weren't much help either. Because of my experience with the Javascript section, I ended up here, and will check out Code School for sure when my knowledge gets more advanced.

tl;dr Sometimes the best things in life aren't free...

Very true! I've found that learning on your own is hard, but the benefits are awesome; study at your own pace, explore for free and do it when you want. I love TTH. , codecademy, codeschool and a few other educational sites, such a promising side of the interwebz.
