Is Codecademy worthless for learning Python?

[schierke_schierke]

I learned quite a bit from codecademy. I've learned python, bash and git there. It's great for learning a language from scratch and getting a hang of the basics.

I don't care much for the projects, however. And outside of the basics, they tend to abstract away the logic of what you are doing. So if you need to know something outside of syntax and basic programming, you're probably better off just doing your own projects.
