- Joseniel V7 days agoI've been trying to learn JavaScript for a while now. Tried different websites and their explanations and courses didn't made any sense and Code Academy explain things so well for beginners like me. Thank You
- Prasan S.7 days agoThe course was great due to the in depth help videos as well as the paragraphs explaining the content. Additionally, the positive reinforcement with the messages if a question was answered incorrectly was very supportive since coding is a hard subject and may be demoralizing at times. It was good to have a reminder that the questions aren't a final diagnosis.
- Jacob W7 days agoExcellent course with a step up kind of structure where you build up on previous skills learned. Also, the hint tab helps when you are doubting what you just coded and need some reassurance.
- Abbos Dadamakhmatov7 days agoThe course is very comprehensible. However, I would love to see video instructions more than text ones as many people including me are more intrigued by visual lessons rather than text ones.
- irman w7 days agoExplains everything quite well
- DERLIS F.8 days agoI learned a lot with this course, it was really good.
