The big news at Treehouse this week, is that the Treehouse forum added the much requested, search feature.

This was part of a larger update to the forum which included:

In other news, Treehouse quietly launched a new video series Web Academy, which is in partnership with hosting provider Media Temple.

This series expands the existing Quick Tips feature on the Treehouse blog into a video series, which focuses on the hosting side of creating web sites. A common theme in the series is the topic of performance, so far there have been videos on improving performance: in your JavaScript, by using gzip compression, by using CSS sprites and using CSS & JavaScript minifying techniques.

Treehouse is amazing for aspiring web developers

I dislike reviews that don't tell you the verdict until the end. I won't do that. You'll get my verdict in the very beginning, every time.

Treehouse is an online technology school and it's amazing. Anytime someone asks me the best way to learn the basics of web development, I point them to Treehouse first. It's reliable, fun, incredibly high quality, and they're always adding new content.

What you can learn

With Treehouse, you can learn web development, web design, iOS programming, Android programming, and how to start a business. The "web development" category has the most content. You can learn HTML/CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, Ruby on Rails, PHP, and even Wordpress, all through tidy packages called Learning Adventures.
