"The best platform to learn how to code online and in a funny way"

5/5

What do you like best about Codecademy?

I like that with Codecademy you can learn the basics of coding (with a free account) or enhance your abilities or develop a full career by paying a subscription. The way it teaches, dynamically and in an interactive way makes it, for me, the best online software for coding courses. Totally recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

There is no much that I dislike about Codecademy. The fact that to develop some careers you must pay is not great, but is ok and it is really cheap if you think it as an investment. Also, it gets a little bit confusing to understand its UX at first, but this is not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codecademy:

If you want to learn new programming skills or enhance the ones you already have, Codecademy is the best choice! Really easy to understand and very intuitive, totally recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codecademy solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use as a tool for quick learning of some programming languages when I need to understand the basics. It is really fast and you can learn a lot by spending a few classes on it. It gives you a boost in some programming languages, where you can learn the sintaxis and overall functions. I use it to develop my career and improve my programming skills.

"Really useful for starters"

5/5

What do you like best about Codecademy?

What I really like best is that in every course they explain the topics to you like you do not know anything so you start learning from the bottom and that is great. What is more, it is an amazing tool to try and practice what you know. It is simple and user friendly how the display of the website is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codecademy?

It is quite expensive, they do not have courses in other languages and they could innovate more in the courses they offer. Nevertheless, I would recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codecademy:

I would say even though it is expensive if they have the money it is worth it. It is something that nowadays there are no such place as a university to study in the way codecademy is teaching. It is really interactive and you can learn by try and failure over and over again. I am not an expert but I have learnt a lot of with their courses and I am still learning about the IT world. It es really grate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codecademy solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have learn a lot, and I could practice what I have learnt in my daily work. It is good to try to apply what you are learning every step at a time, and I have been doing that for a while now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very simple to use platform and has a good way guiding your through the different courses, specially when your lines of code are not correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Code academy is only available online, so you need to be connected to the internet to use the platform. There is no downloadable version that allows you to learn offline. At times the course segments can take a bit long to complete when you already understand the theories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codecademy:

Start with the free version and if you like it and feel the need you can try out the paid version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Code academy solves the problem of our team not understanding the fundamentals of digital languages and therefore the fundamentals of software.
