I remember using codecademy the day they launched, January 2012, to start learning Javascript. The interactive CLI based courses were a breath of fresh air from the old school W3 style tutorials that I had gotten stuck on. It sent me down the path of building a serious career and making a six figure salary that I could have never dreamed of otherwise as a high school dropout.
Thanks codecademy.
- lucasverra 5y agoSame feeling. Then, following the path of https://www.freecodecamp.org/ https://www.freecodecamp.org/, that has to be one of the most inclusive tech endeavours out there.
- soneca 5y agoIt did include me. freeCodeCamp was 5 years ago the foundational first step on a path to my current 6 figure salary in a job that enjoy a lot more than any previous one of my other careers. I never learned well with videos, so codeCademy interface (which I think inspired freeCodeCamp’s) was a great innovation for me.
- estaseuropano 5y agoI thought freecodecamp is mainly a collection of Videos? At least that's what its been like every time I tried.
- MikusR 5y agoThe web and JavaScript is the same as codecademy - no videos.
- JALTU 5y agoSame comment as above! Thanks for sharing your story!
