Codeacademy is an online interactive
platform that offers free coding classes in six different languages:
programming languages like Python, PHP, jQuery, JavaScript, and Ruby, as well
as markup languages including HTML and CSS. As of June 2012, the site had over
5 million users who had completed over 100 million exercises. The site has
received positive reviews from many blogs and websites, including the New York
Times and TechCrunch.
Each individual who joins has their own
profile. To motivate users to participate, the site offers feedback, badges for
completing exercises, as well as a function that keeps track of a user's total
score and total day streak, and displays it to others. There are also CSS and
HTML glossaries available within each tutorial. The site allows anyone to
create and publish a new course using a Course Creator tool.
Codecademy also provides a forum where
enthusiasts, beginners, and advanced coders can come together. There are four
main topics: Web (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP), Ruby, Python, and
Miscellaneous.
Visit:

making applications, games and programs. You can also learn more about HTML and CSS, in which I have discussed in my earlier posts.
