   Khan Academy vs Codecademy Comments

   Negative comment by mighty_dash · Nov 3, 2024

   Not tailored specifically to coding

   Negative comment by Guest · May 22, 2019

   Although there are sections about programming (which are not necessarily strong in quality), it is not the primary focus on this website. This is a fantastic site, however, to study math with.

   Negative comment by Guest · Mar 14, 2019

   Khan Academy does not focus on coding as much as other alternatives.

   freeCodeCamp vs Codecademy Comments

   Positive comment by Deviated · May 3, 2017

   After taking the full course which needs about 3 months, you can understand so much code.

   Positive comment by aihlenburg · Dec 17, 2016

   It's also interactive and browser-based.

   Positive comment by Guest · Feb 28, 2017

   FreeCodeCamp is a fantastic alternative to Codecademy's web development classes on HTML, CSS, and JQuery. It is completely free, utilizes a live sandbox format for application of learned concepts, and, most of all, features a massive support community.

   The Odin Project

   The Odin Project is one of those "What I wish I had when I was learning" resources. Not everyone has access to a computer science education or the funds to attend an intensive coding school and neither of those is right for everyone anyway.
