I'm pretty sure that it's a win for Codecademy whether Twitter changes their API or not. The brand name will motivate students to learn, and the point is to find out how to work with APIs in general.

- lnanek2 14y agoI've heard a lot of people say the Codeacademy lesson quality just isn't that good yet, so teaching people to use an API that will shoot them in the foot isn't going to help. And honestly, if they want to teach Twitter, they should just teach asking the user for a username and password and pretending to be a web browser, because that's the best practice for using it nowadays. Saw foursquare doing that the other day.
