About this course

Join Codecademy Curriculum Developers live each week as we walk through this course covering the fundamental topics in Computer Science. The content we’ll cover is designed for students and is similar to what you’d see in your first semester of a college Computer Science course. We’ll be teaching you how to think like a programmer by using Python, but the core skills you learn will be relevant to any language.

Tune in to our weekly livestreams at 1pm EST every Tuesday starting September 1st, 2020. It’s a great way to ask questions and connect with other students as we take this course together. You can learn more about this live series and catch up on past livestreams in our CS101 blog post.

  • The progress I have made since starting to use codecademy is immense! I can study for short periods or long periods at my own convenience - mostly late in the evenings.

  • I felt like I learned months in a week. I love how Codecademy uses learning by practice and gives great challenges to help the learner to understand a new concept and subject.
