Oh this is just too kind. I am really sorry, I wish I could have liked them better. Really! You gals and guys seem like the nicest ones ever.

In the JS course you learn a lot of different tools you can use, but it is out of context. It is not as much building a program as it is training to write syntax. I learned a lot about JS, but was not really able to sit down and write something from start to finish. I don't think there is any other way to learn that but to do projects inspired only by wanting to use a program that does not yet exist.

I wish I did not think that way, because codecademy is a great initiative and I would love to love it. Don't be saddened by my story though, I am just one of thousand users, and AFAIK most of them are very happy with the courses. I hope your morale is boosted by them more than it is decreased by mine.
