why no projects to help further understand some programming concepts?

Something I feel that lacks in some of the learning here at treehouse, I feel that somethings are already prepared for you to give a learning experience, but I would like to do a project from start to finish, least that way we know that what everything does.

I do feel that this is something that will benefit learners of all standards..what are you opinions?

Yes. I agree. You can't just suddenly start programming like a pro after taking a few courses. It takes a lot of practice to get good at programming—and pretty much anything else! So my suggestion is that you:

  • Follow along the videos (if you like)
  • Experiment with the code after every video
  • Try building some simple projects after each stage. Even though the projects are simple, it doesn't mean it won't help you build large projects one day!

Also, you can take the How to Learn course.

There are projects if you do the techdegree
