<Title>For students looking to increase knowledge of Web Technology</Title>
<Tagline>Student rate obtained for anyone at UMBC</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Recently I worked out a student rate for an online technology firm that teaches web technologies.  It was part of my strategy to get an open link that any UMBC student can use in order to take part in the cost savings.  </p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>TeamTreeHouse has a library of over 700 videos and many different courses in HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, iOS, Android and Web Design to name a few are all available on their website <a href="http://teamtreehouse.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">teamtreehouse.com</a>.  </p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>I've arranged a monthly rate of $9 dollars per month for the Gold Membership level (usually $49 dollars per month).  You can choose to pay for a year up front and you'll only pay for ten months getting two months free; that ends up being $7.50 per month.</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>This rate will not change after a set period of time.  As long as you stay current with TeamTreeHouse you will receive this highly reduced rate.  The offer does end on November 19th, 2012.  You can cancel at anytime.</p>
    <p><br></p>

    <p>Hope this helps someone in the UMBC community learn something for low cost!</p>
