Gatorade Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Was wondering if anyone knew anything about codeacademy. I have used this to learn a few small basic things about some languages like java, javascript, and now i was using it to learn about html and making websites. It is something I am interested in. With that being said i was wondering the following: 1. Is codeacademy even relevant? Sub Question is it relevant on the HTML / website portion. 2. If its not where can I get relevant stuff? 3. Any tips? With all things aside this is just for learning purposes , I have about a yearish left on my bachelors and I wanted to start to get directed into a sub category for programming.

Codeacademy is pretty good. Stackoverflow is good for finding help too. 2. Personally, I would use stackoverflow as a secondary resource. 3. Be ambitious but not too ambitious - start where you feel comfortable and carry on. Edited July 29, 2016 by explicit ryno7 likes this Link to comment

Tyler Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I used to use Dreamweaver back in the day to make a lot of my websites and just plain html coding (the most boring thing ever sometimes). Link to comment
TRAV Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 if your looking for a site with classes, try Udemy! Cheap, and you can find some really wholesome material there. Just make sure as with anything, preview the course and read reviews to see if its right for you! I did a course in swift/IOS development and learned a ton! https://www.udemy.com This is the top rated class i believe! https://www.udemy.com/learn-html-and-css-to-make-website/ explicit likes this Link to comment

It's pretty helpful to cover the basics, although it doesn't cover the whole functionality of most languages that I've tried on there. Link to comment
Bikstok Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) I would recommend codeschool.com. Their courses are very interactive and less boring than codeacademy although most of it requires a paid subscription. The MEAN stack is probably the most modern and useful of their web development guides: https://www.codeschool.com/mean Edited July 29, 2016 by Bikstok explicit likes this Link to comment

ryno7 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 i found codeacademy very helpful and not boring at all. Whatever you enjoy i guess. I loved seeing the finished product. I felt it could've gone a little more in-depth to actually learning the code. Link to comment

My recommendation would be to use codeacademy to learn your basic general understanding. Then give yourself some motivation, set you goals high and plan everything you want functionality wise. Then set to it, start to craft your masterpiece. Anything that you don't know how to do google it, use stackoverflow to guide you don't copy paste but re-do things in your own way. At this level don't worry about optimizing or proper formats just do what feels natural. Link to comment

Yenii Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Code academy is mainly used to learn the basics and to see if you like the language your learning. I learned HTML in high school, but I used dreamweaver as someone said above. id use the websites others have said over code academy. Link to comment
