"Very challenging projects designed to test your problem solving skills, very enjoyable and fulfilling experience."

Pros:
Structured classroom work is very good, and takes you through all the vital parts of the different languages.
Shows you how to code in the correct way and hopefully eliminates any bad practise.
Allocated a tutor who is very helpful and allows available... Read More

Cons:
One of the exercises had the incorrect code available to upload, so I spent an unnecessary amount of time trying to solve something that I wasn't able to.

"Fantastic experience, complete support."

I have had a great time with my Codeacademy course!

I have received a lot of support both when I have asked for it and impromptu, which is fantastic - you always know where you are and have multiple avenues that you can take to get any help you need. The... Read More

On top of that the courses are comprehensive - I have learned way more than I thought would be possible in the time that I have had with the course. Everything is explained in such a way that a layman could understand, without losing any of the necessary complexities and contexts and you become acclimatized to the technical terms nice and quickly along the way.

I have not yet used any job preparation support, but the range of help available is amazing - I certainly had not expected anything so thorough, especially with the guarantee of continued help getting you into your first job within the industry.

Overall, everybody I have been in contact with has been supporting, kind and informed. The course itself has been comprehensive and fantastic and I look forward to jumping into my first web development job!

"Helped give me a kickstart to my career"

Took this when I was a beginner and it helped me decide that software engineering was for me!

I wouldn't recommend it as something that will take you from zero to junior developer level, but it certainly changed my life and helped me get a kick start.... Read More

I used both their front-end HTML & CSS course and their Javascript course. Both were similar in structure and good for beginners.

It's 100% worth trying/checking out!

"Great way to start learning programming!"

Codecademy has a lot of introductory courses to learn programming and web development online. For example, you can learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Ruby, Python, PHP, AngularJS, Ruby on Rails, Git, Terminal and more.

Each course has a series of units and lessons, each with an explanation of new material plus the chance to try it out yourself. It is a perfect mix of theory and practice. This method is ideal for learning programming, being "hands-on", and you learn much faster than just passively watching video explanations.

Codecademy lessons generally have very clear explanations that are easy to follow, even for beginners. The authors even try to make it lively and even funny, so it makes learning coding a lot of fun.

I am very grateful to Codecademy for giving me such a good start and I highly recommend it to everybody! :)

"Simple and useful."

So many bootcamps out there refer back to Codecademy's material because:

1. It's all free.
2. The content is relevant.
3. It's great for the typical bootcamp entry student, who is a beginner to programming.
