    For beginner Codecademy is way better because of it's interface and step by step guide
    I would recommend this website to any beginner. It is very well-made.
    Advanced programmer needs more freedom, IMHO.

    Codecademy from Skillsoft is well suited to persons who wish to quickly acquire practical knowledge and skills that can be immediately applied to support their work or project. On the other hand, Codecademy from Skillsoft is probably not appropriate for those looking for a more theoretical approach to the subject matter.

    It's suited well to support on developing a project and following a set curriculum to get things and material in order. Also it has the idea of a nano-degree as the mini-certification to focus on working through a program over a course of a few months. It's more of an interactive course and best for having access for a set period of time. It helps to prepare well for exams but less beneficial when it comes to more applications I find, and should not be used to supplant any resource, but to use in conjunction with.

    Pros
    Skillsoft
    • The content is relevant to our projects, and therefore adds value to our goals.
    • The content is delivered in a way that is conducive to adult learning, e.g., chunked into bite-size amounts (not overwhelming), uses language that is easy to understand (no technical jargon), a good mix of didactic content and quizzes (the latter adds an element of interaction).
    • The user interface is logical and user-friendly.
    • Codecademy from Skillsoft makes it easy to track your progress, not only within a course, but also relative to your weekly target.

    Cons
    Skillsoft
    • Price too high, students cannot pay 150 euro per year
    • There should be a way to pay for a single class, my student only cares about Java

    • Quiz questions in some cases could be made clearer. I didn't feel the questions were always phrased in a way that I could easily understand what was being asked.
    • Requests for support can sometimes take a very long time to get resolved.
    • Cost structure changed from a fixed-price model to a subscription-only model, and prices are significantly increased as such.

    They are already very good. But, would be great if Udacity improves the area of standardizing offline projects and exercises so that people could attempt to work offline. Including documentation on how to do it. More practical or real-world projects to choose and work on after course completion. Maybe a community can do it.

    I didn't personally have any issues with the program, but scheduling time to review the final project was easy, and the assistant was pleasant to work with.

    I combined my learning from various platforms and did on exclusively reply on any one. However, the free courses in Udacity lacks the comprehensiveness as Coursera.

    • I am already in a great position as a CTO with a great company. I hope to be able to build some new technology with what I am learning, but I haven't applied any of it yet to my own real-world problems. I will though.
