Brandon Kidd
18,141 PointsTop Ranking Members
So I just noticed that everyone in the forum has their points next to their profiles. (I am not in the forum to often).
I have been a member for some time now (2 years) and have racked up over 8,300 points.
Generally I do lessons in sprints. Doing a few lessons and then taking a long break (sometimes months) while I refine my skill locally.
My question (as I am yet to see anyone higher ranked than me) is if there is place we can view how we rank in points or skill to other members?
Not that I am competing :)
I know there has to be someone with more points than I.

16,771 PointsI'm involved in far too many online coding schools to even try to compete here. Congrats on your 8K though!

Courses Plus Student 14,966 PointsCongrats on the points I share your competive nature and was gutted to see a 16,000 one knocking around the other day :-(
Brandon Kidd
18,141 PointsHaha, I have been digging around the forum. So far I have seen 9,300.
Get all the points!
Graham Davidson
Courses Plus Student 14,966 PointsMight have to blast through some of the easier ones to get those points racked - currently having a love hate relationship with the JavaScript course

Courses Plus Student 14,966 PointsMy bad I thought someone had more but it was Izel that I had seen before
Michael Watson
Treehouse TeacherSteve Cracknell has 14k+... Brandon Kidd, I'm coming for you!
Brandon Kidd
18,141 PointsBetter watch out Watson. It won't be an easy battle. :)
Mike Costa
Courses Plus Student 26,362 PointsBy the end of the weekend, I'll break the 10k mark. :)

Courses Plus Student 6,126 PointsI haven't been on in months so first time I've even seen the points system, seem to be doing OK.
Kester Browne
24,414 PointsPoints really don't matter to me. Show me what you can do with what you have learned this far.
izelnakri
25,803 PointsExactly.
Chase Lee
29,275 PointsThat was a little late. I'll catch up to you soon.
izelnakri
25,803 Points
Chase Lee
29,275 PointsBut I agree with Derrick. Points are very fun.
Chase Lee
29,275 PointsI guess I can't catch up with you there.
izelnakri
25,803 Points:)
Derrick Mull
18,518 PointsThe points are fun, but even having 9k, I still go back and watch old videos to refresh my mind.
Nathan Bentley
12,680 PointsIt would be fun to see some sort of 'live' infographic to see our position/points against other members on the site. Guess I have a long way to go!
Chase Lee
29,275 PointsMe too. With only 3,000 I'm sure it will take a while.
James Barnett
39,199 PointsYou can make your own like I did ...
I wrote a script proof-of-concept using the Treehouse teachers as an example team. It's up on github at barnettjw/treeboard
live version: http://treeboard.mooo.com/
If you wanted to make your own leaderboard
Step 1) Make a list of Treehouse usernames you want to track
Step 2) Sign up for Ducksboard
Step 3) Create Custom Ducksboard widget
Step 4) Install script
Derrick Mull
18,518 PointsJust as an FYI. Your link isn't very mobile friendly. I'm sure it's fine just on a PC screen. I'm a geek on responsiveness these day.
James Barnett
39,199 PointsDerrick Mull - Thanks for the feedback, it's actually designed to work on tablets and up.
Steve Hamilton
49,986 PointsI have 22,508 with 309 badges so far. I had all of the badges at one point, but I have fallen behind for a while.
scott duke
5,033 PointsAll of you are giants! ...And I circle the drain with "almost" 4000 points :-| lol
Aurelian Spodarec
7,369 PointsI agree that points doesnt matter really but it helps in keep going but its more important what you learn and oh well , so many points , and no one started python :D guess C/C++/C# is much better than it :D well i guess you cant do , or program everything with C.
Points are fun!
