Codecademy is an interactive, fun way for beginners to learn how to code. It allows you to track your progress as well as your friends’ progress so that you can motivate each other to learn faster.
Codecademy currently offers four main tracks for learning:
- JavaScript Fundamentals – This introductory course to JavaScript gets you started with programming basics, JavaScript apps and building games.
- Web Fundamentals – This course teaches you how to build websites with HTML and CSS.
- jQuery – The jQuery course covers DOM manipulation, event handling and animation creation.
- Code Year – The code year course gives you a basic tour of building interactive websites with JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
Put yourself through a few of these courses and you’ll be building great websites, games, and apps in no time! Getting a few extra skills under your belt will also help you when working with WordPress plugins and themes. Sign up at Codecademy to get started today.
Thanks a lot for this, this will be incredibly helpful for making some changes in the code on my word press websites. Plus I love the little trophies and points you can earn.
Supportive of the initiative, but their name is Codecademy (minus the A) and not Code Academy. I am a co-founder of Code Academy (http://codeacademy.org) in Chicago, and we have created a physical program that teaches beginners how to build web applications. If you could correct your post that would be great. Thanks!
Thanks for the heads up! I’ve got it changed in the post now.
Been using this for months. I’ve learned quite a bit as the last time I truly coded was back when I was writing programs for high school on an Apple II. It’s nice to finally understand object oriented programming. Codecademy has done a great job.
