Disappointing - too old / outdated.

Well this is disappointing. This unit is too outdated, and appears to be based on pre-React v16.8 syntax. The react-bootstrap components no longer exist, and general implementation practice is different.

I'm sure some independent research / version import control could serve as a workaround, but it shouldn't be necessary for $200usd per month.

The forum is a great place to get help from other students, but may not be the most expedient (or even certain) way to contact the staff.

To make sure your comments reach the staff, follow the procedure described on the Support page.

Good point, Steven - the wrong place to share some frustrations! I did end up talking to Treehouse staff, and feel pretty encouraged with news about upcoming content and updates

Well - looking at Ryan Carson's linkedin page, he's no longer affiliated with Treehouse as of December 2021:

But from what I gather, there are new owners who are going to look at injecting new and up to date content. Will be interesting to see what comes - but either way, im close to finishing the Full Stack JS Techdegree, and will move on to the Data Analysis TD after this. That content is updated :-)

Interesting! I read that a failed sale attempt in September resulted in a mass layoff. The same news source indicates that the recent sale was to a private equity firm named Xenon Partners. It will be interesting to see what they do with it.

I used the Carousel component instead of Jumbotron. It won't look the same, but it gets it to render.

      <Carousel>
        <Container>
          <h1>Search App</h1>
          <p>This is a simple search app</p>

Hey Chris, just to sate my own curiosity, what news did you get about upcoming content? did they have a time-frame for when this stuff would get updates? :)

Hey Mark! I’m not an insider so I don’t have any news that I could 100% verify, but I do know the wheels are turning on new content. I believe the updated Node.js is nearing completion (which is pretty high priority for the Full Stack JavaScript tech degree), but I’m not too sure about other things just yet. Hopefully they’ll make some announcements soon. Either way, as I make my way through all the treehouse courses (I’m about to finish my second techdegree), I’m becoming pretty empathetic about how quickly things get outdated with updates to languages, libraries, and frameworks 😅
