About Codecademy
Codecademy is an online learning platform for programming and tech skills. Its lessons run in the browser, so you can write and test code without setting up a local environment.
What it does
Codecademy teaches coding through short interactive lessons and longer courses. You practise by writing code directly on the site and getting feedback as you go. The catalogue covers topics from web development and data science to cybersecurity and cloud computing. It also offers live bootcamps and workshops for people who prefer learning with an instructor and a group.
Key features

Who it's for
Codecademy suits beginners who want a structured route into programming, and people changing careers into tech. Working professionals who want to add a new skill can study alongside their jobs. Companies can also use it to train their staff.
Pricing and good to know
The site has free content, and paid plans unlock more. The page mentions Codecademy Pro and an All Access Pass that bundles bootcamps and workshops with the Pro plan. Because the lessons run in the browser, you need an internet connection and a modern browser. Check the current plan details on the site before you sign up.
