Haml is a pre-processor for your html. It's certainly too advanced for the basic HTML lessons, but I could see a haml course like the sass course in the future.

It's like html, yes, it's just a different syntax, which is intended to be faster and less keystrokes. I'm not sure the best place to learn Haml from, but the official page is a good place to start. http://haml.info/

Once you know html, you can probably teach yourself Haml pretty easily.

I saw on twitter that you guys in Treehouse have a board where students can vote. Here is the link. https://trello.com/b/bAG5Tpax/treehouse-web-design-content-roadmap

As a side note, I am learning web development on my free time using Treehouse and in an interview. My possible employer asked me about my experience with HAML.

Here's a great resource for learning HAML.

I found it very straight forward and simple to learn by simple using an HTML to HAML converter webapp. http://htmltohaml.com/
