Learn To Code, Get A Job: Treehouse Offers Free Courses To 2,500 College Students

Screen shot 2012-09-13 at 4.15.44 PMTreehouse launched last November with an admirable (or terrifying) goal: To teach the world how to design and develop for the Web, iOS, and now Android. Essentially the lovechild of Lynda.com and Codeacademy, Treehouse is building an educational platform that employs video, quizzes, and a little gamification to help aspiring programmers and app developers learn the trade -- whether or not they have any prior experience. More than 12,000 people (between the ages of 7 to 50) are paying for access to the startup's platform, and Treehouse has been quick to generate revenue as a result. So now the Portland-based company is looking to give back to its community of learners -- and help inspire the next generation of web and mobile developers -- announcing today that it's giving $3 million worth of free tech education to 2,500 college students.
