Codecademy Reviews & Ratings

4.5/5

“Starting over and learning”

Pros : I have always appreciated the platform, the design, the user experience, and the joyful and uncomplicated process of learning a new language. Coding is not always simple, and it takes a lot of effort before you start to see results.

Cons : NO CONS

4.2/5

“Where my coding adventure begins”

Pros : I won't have a lot of access to technology when I'm older, but I've always wanted to have a career in programming. As a self-taught programmer, Codecademy really helped me understand what programming is.

Cons : Since it's not entirely lightweight and I live in a place where internet connectivity is a problem, I occasionally struggle with it. Additionally, the free courses don't compare favourably to the paid ones.

4.2/5

“A fantastic way to begin learning”

Pros : The hardest aspect of learning programming is actually getting started. It initially sounds very frightening. Is this the best approach? What book should I choose? What language? When should I work out? In this sense, Code Academy is an excellent teacher. It starts with the fundamentals, walks you through each step, and then asks you to try it on your own to make sure you understand.

Cons : NO CONS

4.1/5

“The best online learning environment for learning to code”

Pros : This, in my opinion, is one of the best online resources for learning the fundamentals of coding as well as the syntax of some of the most popular programming languages. The concept is excellent, and it's a bonus that you can use this website online and test your code there without having to download any additional software.

Cons : NO CONS

3.8/5

“A fantastic approach to advance in programming!”

Pros : The subjects and exercises are moving along nicely at Codecademy. It's wonderful to get experience on well-written story chores. Additionally, it is helpful to have a diverse group of programmers in the community so that you can find the solutions you need if you get stuck.

Cons : You must enter any variable they require for the exercises, and even if you accidentally typed a little mistake in the code (for instance, while assigning a variable), it will still result in an error, which can be frustrating to track down.

3.7/5

“I love it in every way! I wish it could fit everything within!”

Pros : One of the top websites for learning to code is Codecademy. I've utilised Udemy, Dataquest.io, Khan Academy, General Assembly, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and Datacamp. Despite covering all of those stuff, Codecademy performs it the best because it is 1) simple to use and straightforward, and 2) the curriculum gives students the opportunity to DO before teaching them the material. Although the user doesn't yet understand what the code does, it's still quite simple to follow along, and the explanations are accurate and helpful, even if this might be done very poorly. I can't express how much I value this tool; Codecademy is the first place I send everyone.

Cons : Added courses! As Dataquest and Datacamp do, include more coding languages and tracks. I'd also want to see additional business analyst-specific tracks and courses (not exclusively data science but things like business analytics in python or similar).
