What makes Codecademy Pro Intensive different?
“Algorithms are the basis of computing. Once the 'what' and 'why' of programming are understood, algorithms answer 'how'. Once you understand them, you'll have a much greater capacity to solve problems with software.”
Project: Convoluted Kernel Maze
Use graph searching algorithms to determine a path through a corn maze. Keep a sorted inventory of items you pick up along the way to make sure you are holding onto the best swag.
Code Reviews by Professional Developers
Our team of developers will review your final projects and give you detailed and personalized feedback.
