    One of my favorite parts of being a developer is being able to create

  • 0:09

    something that didn't exist before that makes the world a better place.

  • 0:13

    >> I finished the front-end track within six weeks, and

  • 0:18

    within one week of finishing it, I got a job.

  • 0:22

    >> I had plateaued at my previous job, and I was looking for something different.

  • 0:27

    And Treehouse was able to come in and save the day for me.

  • 0:32

    >> I started doing an hour a day.

  • 0:34

    It made me a better resource for my teammates,

  • 0:36

    it made me able to better do my job.

  • 0:38

    There have been times where I've learned something in Treehouse, and

  • 0:41

    that day I've come across a situation where that knowledge was put into use.

  • 0:46

    >> I was always really interested in technology as a kid.

  • 0:49

    When I got to college, I didn't study computer science because I kind of

  • 0:52

    had this preconceived notion that you had to be a math genius.

  • 0:55

    That's what I really liked about Treehouse is that they approached it

  • 0:58

    from the perspective that you could start, really, from ground zero and

  • 1:00

    become a productive developer.

  • 1:02

    >> I was immediately hooked.

  • 1:03

    The technologies front-end web developers use, this is what you should know.

  • 1:08

    >> When I initially started with Treehouse,

  • 1:10

    I didn't have any experience with code.

  • 1:13

    And slowly but surely, I began building websites and I had a portfolio.

  • 1:17

    So now whenever I apply for jobs, I can say, hey, look, this is what I've done.

  • 1:21

    I don't have a four year degree, but I learned this at Treehouse in a year.

  • 1:25

    So imagine what I can do for you in a year.

  • 1:28

    I used Treehouse to learn how to code and it changed my life.

  • 1:31

  • 1:33

    >> Technology is evolving.

  • 1:35

    Languages are evolving constantly.

  • 1:37

    And to stay abreast of that, I use Treehouse.

  • 1:41

    >> It's less about this is how you write code, and

  • 1:43

    it's more about this is how you think about problems.

  • 1:47

    >> After studying on Treehouse for about six months I was able to transition from

  • 1:51

    a project manager role into a full-time web developer role.

  • 1:54

    >> Learning at Treehouse wasn't just about jump-starting my career,

  • 2:00

    it was about starting my life.
