Codecademy

What do you like best?

In codecadamy, the progress of the topics and the exercises are really good. It's so nice to practice on good story told tasks. Also if you are stuck, it is nice to have a broad range of coders around in the community and you can get the answers you are looking for.

What do you dislike?

You need to write whatever variable they want on the exercises and even if you made a small typo error while coding that really has nothing with the code (for example while assigning a variable) it gives an error and sometimes it is annoying to find the error.

Also sometimes the definitions are not quite well, you code what they tell you but don't understand what you really doing. They need to progress these definitions to let the student be confident of what and why they are writing.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I was planning to learn phyton language but i usually have a problem to create a habit for myself. Codecademy helps me to gain this habit with the great gamification features and also their weekly progress mails is a nice feature to see your progress..
