Treehouse

I completed my first Treehouse course recently. The resulting code is functional, but, as I read more of the official WordPress documentation, I realise that a lot of the code is not best-practice. In addition, the forums do not appear to be monitored by staff. The overall impression is that the course content is old and not maintained. Therefore I'm not ready to pay a monthly fee for content of this quality.
