Software development

Hey, I have this question that's been nagging me. I haven't really been able to find my answer on the internet. I want to know like will Teamtreehouse teach me software development? I'm not as interested in the creating a website side as much as creating a web application (ex. google maps or something along those lines). I want to learn how to create software, not so much websites.

At this stage, teamtreehouse only offers courses in web, mobile and business development. That being said, the languages learned here would surely help you develop softwares as the principles are the same.

Python is a language used in software development as are C and Java. You can learn Python here and they are expanding that. Java and C have basic overviews here that you might be able to use for software development. Learning programing is the first step towords software development and you can definetly learn programming here.

Calvin;

I will second (or third) what others have said. While knowing the specific language syntax is indeed helpful, knowing how to program in any language, esp Object Oriented, is what is helpful when starting out. Treehouse does a great job of teaching programming from a problem solving standpoint. Once the thought process for programming is refined, the language specifics become more and more relevant.

Best of luck,

Ken
