What do you dislike about Codecademy?

I felt it's courses could advance too quickly for my learning pattern. That's not to say that's it's fault, only that after learning basics I had better luck elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love every part of it! Wish it could house EVERYTHING!"
What do you like best about Codecademy?

Codecademy is one of the best learn-to-code websites out there. I've used Datacamp, General Assembly, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, Khan Academy, W3 school, Dataquest.io, and Udemy. Despite going through all that content, Codecademy does it the best because it's 1) intuitive and easy to use, 2) the curriculum allows the student to DO first before actually teaching the material. This could be done very poorly, but despite the user not knowing what the code does yet, it's still super easy to follow along and the explanations are spot on and informative. Can't speak highly enough of this resource- I recommend every single person to Codecademy before anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

More courses! Add more coding languages and incorporate tracks like how Dataquest and Datacamp do. Would like to see more tracks/courses geared towards business analysts too (not exclusively data science but things like business analytics in python or similar).

"Excellent course and knowledge process!"
What do you like best about Codecademy?

Easy lesson track, practice, and theory section in the same page, you can apply all the knowledge you are acquiring during the lesson into the practice on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

In the specific case I had, there are multiple ways how to solve a situation, it will be better to teach wich one the most of the jobs are using on the projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"THE choice for beginners!"
What do you like best about Codecademy?

The people from Codecademy focused on the customer, which means the course is for learners who start from scratch. Repetition is key. Compared to sports: an athlete should gain a solid fitness level and condition their technical skills through repetition. Only then can you focus on the game, the strategy, the tactics. You cannot become a good data analyst, web developer, full-stack developer, etc., if the technical basics did not become flesh and blood. Well done, Codecademy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

There is always room for improvement. Therefore I give 9/10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A nice way to progress in coding!"
What do you like best about Codecademy?

In codecadamy, the progress of the topics and the exercises are really good. It's so nice to practice on good story told tasks. Also if you are stuck, it is nice to have a broad range of coders around in the community and you can get the answers you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

You need to write whatever variable they want on the exercises and even if you made a small typo error while coding that really has nothing with the code (for example while assigning a variable) it gives an error and sometimes it is annoying to find the error.

Also sometimes the definitions are not quite well, you code what they tell you but don't understand what you really doing. They need to progress these definitions to let the student be confident of what and why they are writing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Where my coding journey starts"
What do you like best about Codecademy?

When I grow up I don't have that much of access to technology but I always want to have my future on programming and As a self-learned Codecademy really gave me a picture of what programming is.

It is so organized and easy to follow and you don't need to download any extra software to test your code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

I live in where the internet connection is an issue so sometimes I struggle with it since it's not completely lightweight. And the free course are not that much great compared to the pro ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent way to start learning"
What do you like best about Codecademy?

Programming at first seems really intimidating, and start learning it is frankly the hardest part. What language, what book do I pick, is this the best way? When do I practice? Code Academy is a great teacher in this regard. It starts with the basics, explains every step and then it ask you to do it yourself to see you understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

Sometimes you complete a lesson not quite understanding what you did and thats quite frustrating, also it advertises as a free course but frankly you get the best out of it by paying. For a free alternative frankly code academy is quite good and its a good starting point for everyone wanting to learn how to program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great site to DIY learn to code"
What do you like best about Codecademy?

Code Academy offers many different courses free and for pay to learn how to code in many different languages. Users have to master a level before moving on to the next and go step by step for levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

More hints would be nice for when users get stuck on a level. Right now there is one hint and then it refers you to the solution. Otherwise, it is great for beginner coders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best platform that you can find online to learn how to code"
What do you like best about Codecademy?

I believe this is one of the best online platforms to learn how to code, the basics of coding and the sintaxis of some of the most used programming languages. The idea is great, and the fact that you can use this site online and test your code there without the necessity of downloading any extra software is a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

Sometimes it can be a little bit slow to learn a new programming language, mostly when you already know how to code but you are learning a new sintaxis. But it is ok, I think that Codecademy is intended to be used for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
