Re-joined after a 10 year break, has it changed much?

I last had an account just over 10 years ago. Not learned anything web related since (life happened), but decided to get back into web development and started with Treehouse as it was familiar. I noticed though, that a lot of the content is still the same. Are the courses and materials still being updated/maintained? or has the technology just not changed that much since HTML5 became a thing?

Many existing courses have had a "refresh", and many new ones have been added. Some entire categories have been retired (like "Game Development" and "VR"), but others have been created (like "Machine Learning" and "AI"). But you're right that many courses on stable technologies (like HTML) remain as they were.

The biggest change is that Treehouse was sold and is under new management, but the good news is that they seem to be on the same path as you would recall from a decade ago. You completely missed the awkward period where the previous ownership shifted focus into a direction that catered to corporate needs instead of those of individual subscribers, and purged over half the staff — twice.

They still maintain the Content Roadmap page where you can see what new courses are about to be released.
