I've looked at a lot of the "learn-to-code" introductory material that's out there these days, and the Treehouse content is some of the worst there is. I could run down a list of issues, but maybe it suffices to say that I've met many people who've completed the courses and still do not have any understanding of the basics of programming. And this is the material that is going to get high schoolers jobs? I don't think so.
I've been working through stuff on Treehouse trying to learn Ruby/Rails and thought the content was ok if not a little shallow. Are there better programs/methods that stand out?
