Code Conquest Newsletter #7

So, are you interested?
Treehouse has recently released five brand new courses to add to their excellent coding training, with a sixth around the corner:
- Console Foundations
- Enhancing a Simple PHP Application
- UX Foundations
- Database Foundations
- How to Build a WordPress Theme
- Advanced Social Features in Ruby on Rails (soon)
We’ve been trying out some of these courses ourselves (Console Foundations, UX Foundations and Database Foundations). We’ve learnt quite a bit and of course, the courses are all of the quality we’ve come to expect from Treehouse.
Console Foundations will teach you how to use a command line interface, through an interactive online console.
Enhancing a Simple PHP Application builds upon the existing PHP project at Treehouse (an e-commerce store) and enhances it with new techniques.
UX Foundations provides a broad, introductory overview to user research, personas, content strategy, and design patterns and conventions.
Database Foundations will teach you how to create, query and update tables using the Structured Query Language or SQL.
How to Build a WordPress Theme will show you how to build a portfolio site using a custom WordPress theme.
Advanced Social Features in Ruby on Rails will build upon the existing RoR project at Treehouse (a social networking site) and will show you how to add file uploads, image galleries and activity feed.
