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 :)
I'm looking to start learning programing starting with witj development and mobile games and maybe do games with other languages but I'm not sure how to study or what to do I've been learning html right now for 2 weeks but it's hard remembering all that stuff i feel like im not really learning or what path i take , and should I do all the courses on codecademy for web development
I'm going to community college in the fall for Computer Science, I graduated high school in 2023 so I just work now, and I'm finally going back. Doing the 2 years in community college then 2 years state school path.
I can get the student discount for codecademy $150 for a year of pro, but I'm worried it might be a waste? I completed the beginner python course for my senior project and I liked it a lot. And I have severe ADHD and hate learning how to code, it's not hard to understand just to learn and pay attention, and codecademy wasn't that bad to work with in that regard.
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've mostly been using free resources (won't be able to go back to college for a while because it's pretty expensive), and I've been thinking about trying paid classes for a better learning experience, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. I really like freeCodeCamp—following along with projects is great, and the certification projects are helpful. But I feel like I need something that explains how everything functions together even more clearly.
With most tutorials, I feel like I'm blindly following along, and I'd love to get to the point where I can create things more independently. I've looked through a few other resources but I'm unsure what would be best for me. I'm considering paying for a course, but I'm not sure if I should. I've googled different options but want feedback from people who have tried different things. What works best for any of you? :)
If it helps I'm currently learning Javascript, CSS, and HTML (I would also like to learn Java at some point)
