That would be useful to me. Waow it's pretty nice. Color theory I'm going to watch that. What I got to sign up? Well it seems like professional content so I'll sign up quickly. Oh I have to pay? Hahah forget that, so many free resource on internet, feels like I'm going back 10 years ago when I had to pay for an encyclopedia or a research engine :)

#142Beautiful site, great UX.
I will be signing up and if the videos are as good as the samples I'll definitely be sticking around; worth $49 a month for sure. I love that you guys are trying to tackle this end-to-end - ambitious, but I hope you pull it off.

#143Im not a IT pro but im following Hackernews for a while.
I think this is something i searched for the weekends and evenings to learn some new things on web development and basic programming.
Great website i really appreciate it.

#144Great execution. I wish there was like a $10/month option though! Or student discounts or something...
But the content is well worth the $25/month and up. Loved ThinkVitamin Membership, this looks even better.

#145Looks great. I would be very interested in seeing a Android Dev category.

#146Feedback: Have no idea what Treehouse is, clicked the site, took 300ms to look at the 3 giant buttons. Clicked "web design" (the site looks very nice BTW) ... and started learning about web design. Watched the first video, hit the only button "Let's Go" and found a collection of other videos to get me further down the path of web design, letting me skip directly to my problems areas instead of grinding through things…
I didn't have such a flawless experience. I was first baffled because I didn't understand what kind of website that is. I thought, well doesn't matter, it looks nice, let's try iOS. Then I watched that intro video that promised a first look at Objective C. I clicked "Lets go" and ended up at an XCode tutorial. Huh? So I clicked the breadcrumb navigation, and thought "App Life Cycle" sounds interesting. I clicked that…
I also had a similar unfortunate fate with the iOS tutorials. I was excited clicking "Let's Go", and I spent 8 minutes familiarizing myself with Xcode. Then, I didn't get anything to further me - just something about a quiz, which honestly I don't care to take right now this early, and then a video on Interface Builder and Editor and Utilities Area.
I know what IB is, but for a lot of other people, they probably won't even want to click it, and Editor and Utilities Area sounds kind of boring. Clicking around more, it seems like there are specific categories now - Xcode is just one of them. I thought I was going to learn how to build an iPhone app, but now I have to figure out the right subtopic.
Overall, not a good experience. I think it's a great design in terms of colors and such (and even the video page I watched was nice and simple), but the flow was terrible. To top it all off, iOS 4 Foundations is the name of the iOS page. This barely sounds relevant to a newcomer, I would rather see that say 'iOS Development'. Foundations sounds like it'll go through boring stuff, I really just wanted to start hacking away at apps.

#147Earlier quoted context omitted.
We're hoping to make a couple Code Challenges and Quizzes public soon. Couldn't finish it for launch.
May be you could keep the 25$ at the beginning, then give discount to those who unlock badges? say 15$ if you unlock 10 badges, or something like that?
What would the point of that be, other than to give up money? It doesn't make the barrier to entry any less.

#148Your knowledge map needs some work. I'd say Khan Academy's knowledge map rocks: http://www.khanacademy.org/exercisedashboard?k

You just made my day. We worked hard on the on-boarding UX.
Can you guys hook it up with some student discounts?
