Treehouse iPad App
I've been championing my sponsor, Treehouse, for a long time. Their online video tutorials are high quality, their price point is excellent for those who don't want to pay the extortion that is traditional college, and they provide education for a variety of languages and essential business skills.

The jQuery JavaScript
It's important to keep...
![Full Width Textareas]()
Working with textarea widths can be painful if you want the textarea to span 100% width. Why painful? Because if the textarea's containing element has padding, your "width:100%" textarea will likely stretch outside of the parent container -- a frustrating prospect to say the least. Luckily...
Awesome! This looks gorgeous! Will test this out as soon as I come home. :) Maybe I’m just blind, but a direct iTunes link would have been useful (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/treehouse-learn-programming/id664753504?ls=1&mt=8)
Never mind… unbelievable how blind I was xD
I almost bought an iPad just to use this app but it would be great to have an Android version.
