Codecademy

Anyone use it? I used it this summer for a refresher on html/css and am currently learning Javascript off it.

Different55 · 2014-08-12 17:41:19

I think I don't like it but I can't remember for sure.

I use it occasionally just for fun, but I don't really have an intent to go far in it. HTML would be cool to know though.

What is Codecademy, anyway?

Coolio · 2014-08-12 18:27:26

It's like a lernhow2code with interactive lessons.

long while ago

i finished like 60% of total content

N1KF · 2014-08-12 20:23:03

I would probably get bored after 6%.

It's okay. I remember the progress being a bit slow though, going over things that you should already understand from the previous lesson.

Just tried it. Checked out the PHP course, saw some OOP stuff, thought I'd brush up and...

A few weeks ago, I knew nothing of OOP. I learned more about OOP from diving head first into a project that already contained OOP (FailBot) than from codecademy. From diving into the code, I learned everything all at once because I had to, and apparently I didn't miss anything important. I'd rather slap myself upside the head with an "advanced" technique and learn it near instantly than slowly progress through 10 lessons just to learn what I could have learned like the wind. I ended up skipping lessons 4-8 and going straight from 3 to 9 just because I was beginning to die of boredom. I learned more and faster just by reading the stuff on the left then skipping the lesson.

The only thing that I can say for it are that it taught me these few things:

Classes are not objects, they are templates, but can be used like objects?
I learned what "extends" means.
The one thing with the :: isn't like the thing with the ->. You need to include $ when you use ::.
If you want to :: something, then you need to static it first.

Thank you for this insight.

I don't know the terms. Codecademy didn't volunteer the information, and source code can't be expected to explain every term that pops up in it, although FailBot's source does a surprisingly good job of it.

Bimps1002 · 2014-08-14 12:37:42

ha cod at 4k? the xbone sucks to much to have it at 4k, itll only be 1080p 60 fps. but that's because all the textures look like dog ****!
