CD Duplication, DVD Duplication Blog, CD/DVD Replication Blog by b2evolution: More than a blog! - Open Source Blog/CMS Software Learn To Code, Get A Job: Treehouse Offers Free Courses To 2,500 College Students Treehouse launched last November with an admirable (or terrifying) goal: To teach the world how to design and develop for the Web, iOS, and now Android. Essentially the lovechild of Lynda.com and Codecademy, Treehouse is building an educational platform that employs video, quizzes, and a little gamification to help aspiring programmers and app developers learn the trade — whether or not they have any prior experience.

What does that mean? Why is Treehouse doing this? The other factor that will determine whether or not Treehouse hits the mainstream is breadth of content.
