I use treehouse projects as examples for when I need to do something in one of my sideprojects, so having a huge folder of all the treehouse projects is handy.

4,157 PointsIs your day job full stack web development? I'm super noob still trying to make sense of things. You have 29,011 points so does that mean you've been doing treehouse stuff for a while now? I'm 1 month in.

I started seriously using treehouse a little less than a year ago to expand my base of knowledge. In both the role I fulfill on my team, and as an aspiring entrepreneur it's really beneficial to me that I can find the right tool for the job. So I've added Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Python (Django), and ASP.NET to my skillset. I've also hit the front end much harder as demand is increasing for Single Page Applications.
This career really makes lifelong students of the people in it, because the tech is always changing.
For me, the code while watching the video makes the most sense, because it forces me to jump right in. And when I'm done, I have the completed project to use as a reference if I ever need grab any code snippits from it.
