Is Codecademy any good to learn js? Wich sources u use as beginners?

I've used Codecademy to tech myself html and css and it was very easy to understand and I finished the course in about 4 days and I retained all the information... Great. But the course for JavaScript is much harder to understand and it's given me quite a bit of confusion. Do you suggest I learn by different means, or am I not paying enough attention?(I do that quite a bit) Thank you.

I have just finished their CSS and HTML course it was pretty good. I was wondering if I stick with them and do their javascript course so I can get my basic web dev skills down. If anyone has done it or know of a better way to learn please comment

Thanks, heaps :)

I’ve been trying to learn programming for a while. I was finding that most free resources were extremely difficult in getting the bigger pictures across and how things tied together. I finally broke down and bought the pro version of Codecademy. I started the backend engineering track and I feel like I’m actually learning a lot and making progress, understanding concepts. I feel like it gives me direction and ties concepts together on how things function together. The supplemental resources that they point you to help a lot.

I see Codecademy get a lot of hate on here and the majority of the reason is it’s too expensive, but I don’t really hear a lot about the content quality here.

Am I wasting my time with Codecademy, or is the pro version a start?

I've been designing / building informational sites (and WordPress sites) for about 5 years. I want to make more money and expand my front-end knowledge base - I've been told learning JS is the right direction.

The past couple days I've been trying my hand at JavaScript on Codecademy. The introduction bit to the course was pretty simple (strings, variables, booleans, if / else statements) - I felt really good about it. But when I started doing Functions, things started going downhill.

I'm not saying it's easy to learn, but the way Codecademy tries to explain JavaScript is extremely vague and it doesn't help, at all when you're stuck. If you don't know an answer, you basically google the Codecademy answer (copy and paste it) and you keep going. To me, that's not learning.

So... as someone who really just knows HTML / CSS, and wants to easily and smoothly learn JS (and eventually jQuery).. what would you recommend?

Any help is appreciated.

I just took my first lesson on Codecademy and I liked it. I'm tempted to go for the full year subscription to save money. Is it worth it?

I still don't feel like I'm ready to start building projects and whatnot or practicing myself, is there another course (preferably free but I'm open), that I can do to solidify my knowledge before I start practicing by myself?

I tried the Odin project and did not like it at all. I may try it again down the road but I felt I was all over the place. Today I started codeacademy python course and finished the first python module is it worth it to get the paid version ?

So there's this pretty well-known and renowned website called Codecademy. I'm currently taking their free Java course and I don't find it to be that great. It's pretty hard to understand and the course isn't structured that well in my opinion(though I have very slight experience with Java). I'm thinking of switching to a different source but I want to know if it's just me or if it's the website/course itself?

I recently completed the HTML5, Css, And Javascript programs on codeacademy. Are there other free programs I can use to learn more and improve my skill? I'm trying to learn about front-end web development to become a web developer. I'm starting with this as my goal and later on I expect to learn app programming and other things like that but I'm starting with web development. Are there any other free programs I can use to improve my skills? If there aren't any free programs then I'm willing to pay as long as there are good deals.

They've got a 50% october sale at the moment. The pro package provides access to (and I quote):

I am a not a beginner but not quite at an intermediate level. I have a decent mathematical background with some previous, limited experience in Python and C++. I'm looking to learn some Python (and C++ eventually) for applications in data analysis, ML and financial tools.

Has anyone genuinely found Codeacadmey to be a strong resource in terms of the courses and projects offered? Have you completed courses and left with a more robust understanding of concepts? Also, do employers rate their proffesional certs?

thanks for reading :)

Hi everyone, I am interested in learning programming and data science and have been considering using Codecademy as a learning platform. I wanted to hear from the community about their experiences and opinions on Codecademy, as well as any other recommendations for platforms to learn and develop professionally.

Specifically, I am looking for a platform that provides a comprehensive learning experience and practical knowledge, and ideally includes interactive exercises and projects to work on. I would also appreciate any insights on the strengths and weaknesses of different platforms, as well as any tips for making the most of online learning.

Thank you in advance for your help and advice!

Pretty much self explanatory... I've just started programming, and decided to start with JavaScript, since the Unity game engine uses a modified version of it, and neither of the other two languages supported by Unity (C# and Boo) are on CodeCademy... So now I've finished the whole JavaScript course, but I feel like I haven't learned everything there is to learn about JavaScript... Am I wrong? And if I am, where can I learn more for free? [Ninja Edit] Also, where can I learn more about UnityScript?

I recently discovered CodeCademy and they have everything from free basic fundamental skills to full fundamentals of a skill like HTML, SQ, Python etc. they also have career paths that teach you everything to do with Front end, computer science/data science, full stack. My question is, is it worth the time to do the course to getting a job as a self taught programmer? Will I be taken seriously as someone without a college degree?

I am currently learning JavaScript use the Learn JavaScript course on codecademy. After that what other free courses can I use to expand my knowledge of JavaScript?

I have a BA in computer science from 2022,, but never did anything with it. I mainly learned Java for my degree so I've got some coding experience. Recently I started using Codecamy to learn some web development and since they had a sale I bought a pro membership for a year. So far I've completed the HTML course and I'm starting the CSS course then planning to learn JavaScript, SQL, and Python. I read some reviews saying it may not be a great tool, is this true? If so what other learning tools would you recommend?

Hello, I learned HTML and CSS on Codecademy and then I finished the HTML and CSS course on Freecodecamp. Should I learn Javascript on Freecodecamp or FCC?
