Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to help develop coding skills that we use to improve our efficiency in work tasks. Instead of using in house resources, we use Codecademy as an outsourced way to upskill our employees. It is a great tool.

Pros

Improving coding skills
Easy to onboard
Great value

Cons

Some limits on coding modules
Somewhat weak customer service
More promotions would be nice

Likelihood to Recommend

Codecademy is great for any organization that wants its employees or users to learn applicable coding skills. It is well suited for a variety of uses, including those for large organizations with many users, along with smaller organizations. It may be less appropriate for organizations that want to control the coding education in house.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I teach first-year bachelor students Java, and when asked about extra exercises, I redirect them to Codecademy.
For students who are highly motivated and want to learn things outside the scope of my class, I redirect them toward the intermediate class
Otherwise, I suggest the introduction course.

Pros

Partially free
Lessons
Exercises
Quizz (paid version)

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited:

Students who just started to learn to program and want to do some exercises/have a different perspective on a given topic

Not well suited:
An advanced programmer who wants to learn a new language/library.
I personally learned Python a while ago using Codecademy, but when I recently tried to use it for Javascript, it was not adapted for someone who knows to program in more than one language already.
