Codecademy explains so well the principles of programming that even a beginner will understand without any problem. For me the best thing is that the screen is devided into three parts: 1. theory that your need to read 2. in the middle of the screen there is a part where you do coding 3. on the left from coding part you see the final result of your coding, let´s say - what would appear on the screen if you write a certain code. The platform checks in real time wether you did the programming exercise well or not. They also provide hints to exercises and a correct solution in case you are stuck. All the lessons are divided into small steps, which is handy for learning. And these all in a free subscription option. Might you want more lessons and exercises - PRO is also very affordable, 19,99 dollars per month, it is worth it

Great way to learn the basics of coding and the opportunity to really dive down deep into topics. Easy way to pick up on new careers.

You do not need to set up the environment. You can just go ahead and start coding. You do not need to listen to lectures or something. Just do excercises and learn
