Any chance of C# programming on this Island?

Am I the only one with this thought?

Nope, I really wanted them to also include C++ and Java.

I hope this will catch the attention of other members to support this to a fruitful end.

Come on, Treehouse give C#, C++ & Java a chance!

go to tuts+, they have

I remember them saying that it didn't match their scheme of things that they are trying to teach. So they probably won't have it that I know of. But it would be nice if they taught those types of programming. Maybe in the future.

However I believe treehouse should just teach just Java since it is a really good language to learn. Since Java and C# and extremely similar if you do learn Java it is most likely that you will know C# also, there are tiny differences.

Yeah. I would love to see some Java besides Android Dev here. I'm currently reading Java on my own outside Treehouse. I recomend buying a e-book or whatever on the language you want to jump right into!

I'm jeered towards C# because of Microsoft Visual Studio. My recent experience reckons once one gets the grips with C#, web development in the .NET environment will be a breath of fresh air (the tools in the IDE are phenomenal), not mention the job prospects (I speak from the UK, check CWJobs' site for .NET jobs - and finally most of the big companies believe in legacy software. I hope other members share similar view.

I would suggest Pluralsight for anything .NET. Scott Allen has some really great courses to get started.

Kate Gregory is awesome in her C++ tutorials on Pluralsight. I wouldn't put a newbie on it though. They beat Treehouse in terms of content, but the learning experience is so much better here.

I totally concur about the content, which is why I subscribe here too. :]

I got lost a bit myself when I tried to go through the C++ courses, but for strictly C# I don't think you can get better unless you happen to have an in-person instructor.

Getting an advanced understanding of C++ takes forever. Looking back at old code I wrote is a nightmare! Having an understanding of a language like C++ makes html and css seem like a breeze though. (At least with Treehouse that is)

I'm still hoping Treehouse would consider ASP.NET MVC Web Application courses here. The learning experience here is second to none. You only have to listen to your students and give them what they want to make it complete. Come to think of it, Microsoft Web Technology courses are the only ones Treehouse haven't considered yet. It doesn't make it a balanced learning resource centre.
