Yeah makes it even more complicated when major tech blogs call Codecademy Code Academy, and then people on Twitter get @CodeAcademy confused with @Codecademy.

The Codecademy founders don't call their startup Code Academy and apparently didn't even know about the Code Academy in Chicago (http://howilearnedeverything.com/2011/10/30/clearing-the-air/ http://howilearnedeverything.com/2011/10/30/clearing-the-air...), but then just a few weeks ago they bought codeacademy.com
Interesting...
- Timothee 15y agoThanks for the link. The timeline as described in this post seems to explain, in my opinion, the somewhat odd name that "Codecademy" is. Since the start I've found it hard to pronounce and easy to misspell. It's not a big stretch to think they had "Code Academy" in mind and adapted it towards the end… Maybe not, but I know I would never go for "Codecademy" if I could go for "Code Academy".
- ajasmin 15y agoYeah. Never seen or heard "cademy" as shorthand for "academy"
