What courses are you most looking forward to?

Hi all.

I was thinking just now I'm really looking forward to the new jQuery course. jQuery has been around for a long time now and is in some ways the daddy of the JS libraries that are out there. But it's been too long since I have even touched it. The jquery basics course that currently covers jQuery is great but it only covers a few examples and is a few years old now. It's good to see the topic is getting a refresh as well as getting familiar with how to use the docs too.

Then of course, I can use it either to improve my current websites or start a new project which could probably use some of jquery's magic.

Away from that I'm nearly finished the Java Track and after that I need to decide whether to go onto Android or further Java work with Web Development. I;m also looking to expand my PHP knowledge with the great (I'm sure) new courses in PHP.

So what are you most looking forward to studying on Treehouse and why? :-)

Well, I was looking forward to the new PHP courses... but... :see_no_evil: :speak_no_evil: :hear_no_evil:

:dizzy:

Mostly, I'm waiting (anxiously) for more Java and Ruby! :)

Hi Jason,

It's interesting that you're not keen on the new php courses. Which ones are you referring to in particular? So far I've taken "Build a basic website", "PHP Basics" and the Arrays course and just finished Objected Oriented PHP.

Now I'm neuro-diverse so learning new things isn't always easy for me but I've loved having a new perspective on all these things when I didn't get much from the original set of courses.

Any courses that would help me to think more like a programmer would be ideal for me. Although it was a workshop rather than a course, I thought Randy Hoyt's two-part workshop on Object Oriented JavaScript to guide a robot through a maze was excellent and would appreciate more content that focused on problem-solving like that one. Chalkers does a good job of it also with his four P's and taking the viewer through the documentation with him.

I haven't gone through much Java or any of the Python courses yet, so maybe those would fit my need if anyone could advise me where to look?

The Java courses talk a lot about teamwork and use Trello boards to split projects into a list of tasks and various stages of the project process from "backlog" to "completed" status so you may like that. :-)
