This might just be the very best learning tool I have ever seen for beginners in programming. Codecademy offers free online courses in JavaScript, Ruby and Python. The trick is the interactive way Codecademy teaches: It’s a interactive tutorial, where you have to read a little, and test a little, for every step of the process. It’s done via a nice interface, where you have a console-like input to fulfill the exercises live. It’s pretty cool!
The developers description says: “Codecademy was created out of the frustrations Zach and Ryan felt with learning how to program. Tired with less effective text and video resources, Ryan and Zach teamed up to create Codecademy, a better, more interactive way to learn programming by actually coding. This is just the beginning. Join us as we make it easy for everyone to love and learn how to code.”
If you’re not so familiar with programming, try this out! Even to jump on other languages later, this is a great learning tool. You can get so much more out of your web hosting if your are able to program yourself :-)
