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.

>> 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.
