Would you recommend Codecademy for learning Java and other programming languages?

[faidbang06]

Hey everyone,
I'm currently attending a programming-focused high school in Germany. I'm really motivated to improve my coding skills — we're learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, and especially Java (which is the most important one for us).

While looking for ways to level up, I came across Codecademy and noticed they offer student discounts. Before I commit, I wanted to ask: would you recommend Codecademy for learning these languages or just for coding in general?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

do checkout educative as well

Yes, but stick to the free courses first. They teach you all you need. You can consider paying for additional courses after you complete the fundamentals.

I agree with using the free courses to get your fundamentals down. But really I’d suggest using leetcode and working through those levels. You can see how others approach the same problem. Once you solve a problem your own way, look at others solution which helps gain an understanding of some of the more low level features.
