I've been doing Udemy, it really depends on what course you buy, mine, the guy teaches you how to install and configure your IDE, so you can program with him and do the exercises along the course. I have two monitors, so I watch the classes on one, and write code on the other one, it's pretty interactive and I've learned a bunch of stuff so far. Answer from Deleted User on reddit.com

r/SQL on Reddit: Datacamp v Codeacademy
July 26, 2022 -

Just wanted to know which of the aforementioned sites are better to learn about SQL and other languages like python, R etc. Have been swinging between Datacamp and Codeacademy to learn these languages but couldn't decide on one , need advice.

Edit: just started using Codeacademy as well , found out that it doesn't display the tables that i am working on like it does in DataCamp , you have to put the query to display the tables you are working with everytime you want to see the tables.

Hello to everyone reading!!!

My name is Andrew I am 19 years old student.

Considering to start learning code and now I am picking the platform to start and stick with it at least a month to learn the basics of the basics.

Googled many websites like Udemy/Youtube/DataCamp/CodeAcademy/Brilliant

Udemy - Offer various videos and courses about many topics and good quality, but you do not have an option to interact with the code at the real time. I am writing down all I learned and then use PyCharm

YouTube - The same as Udemy, but in my opinion offer more basics quality video but its free.

DataCamp - I tried the free version of it. Until now it was an entertaining experience, But the trial ended and now it's 25bucks a month. Its offer a real time practice about what you learn and have good UX.

CodeAcademy - Used the paid option in the past. Lasted for a month(I think it's a problem in me and not the website). Plenty courses and topics to learn. Giving a good practice about what you learn even sometimes I googled things.

Brilliant - The best UX experience until now. But it's more about logical thinkings and less really coding. Should I consider it like secondary source?? (And that coming with paid subscription)?

WHAT TO PICK??? (OR I AM TOO MUCH TRYHARD ABOUT IT?)

Thanks to everyone helping me out!!!!!!

I know people asks a lot about code learning platforms but I haven't found a good answer yet.
I'm a biologist and I want to learn coding mainly for data science and data analysis (ideally from basic stuff like graph making and statistics all the way up to transcriptomics); I would like to learn both R and Python.
So far by checking several posts and reviews, I have made a shortlist of platforms that seem to be good according to the community but I can't decide on which one to spend my money on (ofc ideally I don't want to pay more than one!). So if you were to choose among these platforms, which one would pick?
-Datacamp
-Codeacademy
-Dataquest
-Udemy
-Or should I just go free with Freecodecamp?
I know there won't be an ultimate answer but I want to gather more information before committing to a platform. Please let me know your opinions and experiences! Strong opinions are specially welcome!

DataCamp vs Codecademy: In-Depth Comparison for 2026
December 23, 2025 - Like DataCamp, most Codecademy projects live within the platform environment. While you’re writing more complete code compared to fill-in-the-blank exercises, transferring these projects to your personal GitHub still requires additional work.

December 11, 2018 - KhanAcademy does a good job of teaching the reasoning and logic behind SQL statements, although the material is fairly short compared to CA. If R or Python is what you’re looking for, DataCamp is the one as it also includes a lot of the BI part of data science.

r/SQL on Reddit: Code-academy and SQL
July 29, 2022 -

I am a college senior who is trying to hopefully break into consulting. Recently In an internship I got introduced to Microsoft access, and I loved it. I wanna learn SQL, because I think I would like it, and because it’s probably very useful and a competitive advantage. Has anyone ever tried Codecademy to learn SQL and is it any good for someone who has no experience in coding?

Codecademy is fine for you to find out if you want to learn more SQL, go ahead and do it. Is it the best SQL course? Maybe not. You will probably read lots of opinions here with better ones. What it will show you, which is in my opinion priceless is whether you enjoy working with and structuring data. There are many use cases for SQL aside from querying but the vast majority of users today are data-literate professionals (developers, testers, data and business analysts, project and product manager who have some technical skills) who need more from their data than they are currently getting. For those needs, this is a good course. I took it 6 years ago when my own need arose and today I write SQL every day. I'm not a DBA or even a developer, but I am grateful for what I got out of the course. If you are looking to get into consulting, there is nothing wrong with learning SQL. I would however suggest that you not think of it as a competitive advantage. Plenty of people out there will also know SQL, and many of them will enjoy it. Try to figure out if you're among them first before you sign years of your professional life away.

When I first started learning sql, I used code academy. Then I started working through the hacker rank challenges (which I truly failed at for awhile & found challenging at first). Then I started using it at work. Now I use it constantly at work & work as a data analyst. Idk if it’s the best course available but I learned the basics & it was either free or inexpensive (2017, I don’t remember much)

Hey everyone, I'm looking for the most efficient way to learn Python, I'm torn between Codecademy and DataCamp as the main options. Do you think this comparison is accurate https://self-starters.com/datacamp-vs-codecademy/? I want to start a side project for data analysis written in Python but I don't want to change my career.

Can anyone share their experiences with either or both? I'm particularly interested in which one offers a more comprehensive and beginner-friendly approach to learning Python. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: Are Datacamp/CodeAcademy worth the price? Or should I just keep teaching myself?
November 25, 2020 -

Hi all,

I'm currently teaching myself python to eventually start engaging in data science. Using Mimo has been really helpful with learning the basics, however, now that I'm close to finishing their tree, I'm looking for how to move to the next step.

My question: are sites like CodeAcademy (£191 p/y) and Datacamp (£111 p/y) worth the subscription fees? Or should I use something like Sololearn or general tutorials instead? Particularly to build up my skills quickly in Python + 'Data Science', and maybe learning another language like R (for a possible future PhD and professional reasons).
