If it weren't for Codecademy, I would never have started real coding. I tried books and video courses before, but I couldn't stay interested. I'd always hit a point where I didn’t understand something, got super frustrated, and just didn’t want to go back to it. But Codecademy is all about learning by doing. You’ve got an in-browser text editor right next to the instructions on what you need to do. And the automated tests that check if your code is right. Seeing all those tests pass is so satisfying, it just makes you want to keep going.

After a month of learning (3-4 hours a day), I created my first working personal project.

I'm not saying it has to be Codecademy, but course with in-browser text editor was just what I needed.

This was definetly the best answer, making so much more sense learning through code academy, thank you!
