How it works
The platform's strength is learning by doing. Its interactive lessons, projects, and quizzes keep you writing code rather than reading about it, and its career paths include portfolio projects and interview preparation. It also offers Codecademy Go, a mobile app for practising on the go, and a community of learners.
Codecademy has a free Basic plan with limited courses, and Pro costs about $19.99 a month on annual billing ($24.99 month to month), with a free trial. It is a strong pick for beginners who learn best by writing code, though the free plan is limited and the content is less deep than a university course.
