Codecademy covers specific programming languages and technologies. They have tracks focused on web development, data science, and building games, and offer courses focusing on specific skills like Javascript, Python, SQL, HTML, CSS, computer science, and hardware programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the years since I first became aware of Codecademy, they\u2019ve grown considerably, now covering a far greater variety of topics. Whatever your interests or skill level, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019ll have something to offer you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"codecademy-python-courses\"><\/span>Codecademy Python Courses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.codecademy.com\/catalog\/language\/python\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Python<\/a> is a great first language to learn, as it is both succinct and easy to read. This powerful, flexible language has achieved world-wide popularity. Codecademy offers a free Python 2 course and Watson API course. Many more Python courses are available to Codecademy Pro members including courses that teach web scraping, sorting algorithms, data visualization, linear data structures, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some courses only take one hour to complete, while others can take up to 10 weeks. Additionally, some require previous experience with Python, while others require no prerequisites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"codecademy-javascript-courses\"><\/span>Codecademy JavaScript Courses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>JavaScript can be used on both the front-end and back-end of a website, making it a robust and versatile programming language. You can take a number of Codecademy&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codecademy.com\/catalog\/language\/javascript\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">JavaScript courses<\/a> for free, including courses that cover JavaScript fundamentals, game developments, and A-Frame.

The first is that Codecademy lessons are interactive. Coding is a living skill requiring the learner to experiment, make mistakes, and devise solutions to problems. Reading about coding isn\u2019t enough. I\u2019d argue that going a step further and coding along with a book still isn\u2019t as good as what Codecademy offers. Having a guided, interactive environment in which to learn will do a lot to reduce the time required to gain real proficiency in coding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second advantage is that Codecademy offers structure. There are now so many coding resources out there that you could spend your whole life doing nothing but studying them. Unfortunately, that won\u2019t pay the bills, and you have to choose things to focus on. The problem here is that, as a novice, you may not have any idea how to structure a learning path. Codecademy has removed the guesswork by creating skill paths that take you from raw novice to competent practitioner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without this guidance, you could spend months or years going down dead ends before you learn enough to see what your next step should be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Codecademy has taught 45 million students since 2011, so you can trust that its teaching methods are tried and true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Codecademy&#8217;s students include employees at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Google<\/li><li>Facebook<\/li><li>Apple<\/li><li>Amazon<\/li><li>Microsoft<\/li><li>Spotify<\/li><li>Uber<\/li><li>IBM<\/li><li>Nasa<\/li><li>Dropbox<\/li><li>Reddit<\/li><li>Youtube<\/li><li>Instagram<\/li><li>Electronic Arts <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-codecademy-a-good-fit-for-you\"><\/span><strong>Is Codecademy a Good Fit for You?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/photo-1554415707-6e8cfc93fe23.jpg\" alt=\" Woman writing on a laptop. \" class=\"wp-image-4544\"\/><figcaption>These days, you can learn to code anywhere.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It really depends on what you\u2019re trying to accomplish and what your alternatives are. The fact that Codecademy is online means you have the flexibility to learn a coding language when and where you want. Of course, this means you may get stuck on problems that you have to solve on your own. Many of the courses are free, and even the most expensive ones are still fractions of what a traditional college class would set you back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, my own verdict is that Codecademy is an excellent way to begin studying a technical subject and is best used in conjunction with books, videos, meetups, or a quality coding bootcamp.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"faq\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1595427650203\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is Codecademy free?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">All Codecademy courses are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/reviews\/codecademy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">free<\/a>.
