I'm pretty sure GCC and MSVC inline assembly syntax still works in C++…
but that's weird unless you have binding C and C++ compilers mangle symbol names…

Yeah, but I am not talking about inline assembly! That really isn't relevant. I am talking about how it is physically made up. Assembly can call C libraries, such as printf, but that is also irrelevant to the main situation. My main point of that was C++ and machine language are not really related (other than it compiling to machine code).

SYTAX? Like, syntax?

Just barebones syntax, not really any of the deeper ideas beyond it. (Codecademy tries to explain beyond, but doing what they tell you to do really does not teach you the ideas well. That is something up to the student)

Codecademy doesn't explain how to save a plaintext file or how to install or run Python…
(which IMHO is very bad)

The best way to learn coding is either on youtube or W3SCHOOLS

Noooooooooo. W3schools.com is not a good place, nor are random YouTube videos.

https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ is great for learning basic Python and applying it to several cool projects.
http://eloquentjavascript.net/ is great for learning JS

I wish I had those 2 years ago.

Wait, this thread isn't dead?
I really like Codecademy so far.

If you ever want to get into web development (making websites), I suggest you go to Bento and poke around there.

What's wrong with W3Schools? It is good if you want a tidbit of information
As a tutorial website… I could see why it may not work. It doesn't give a whole lot of relevant information.

A good place for BASIC tutorials is http://www.tutorialspoint.com/
DO NOT USE THE ENTIRE TUTORIAL (the assembly tutorial is outrageous, don't use that one at all)
IT IS FINE TO GET THE BASIC FEEL OF THE LANGUAGE, DON'T USE IT FOR ANY MORE THAN THAT!
I am not shouting. I want to get this point across. This is very important!

Also, it is where http://compileonline.com/ was moved to! ( http://www.tutorialspoint.com/codingground.htm )
It has great online compilers and terminals! It even has one for hadoop!

EDIT:
Nevermind, they removed hadoop
I was actually just about to use that one!

EDIT 2:
If you search hadoop in the search bar, it comes up with Hadoop Terminal Online but when you click on it, it does not take you to the terminal. The hadoop terminal will be missed
Come Back!!!

I prefer Python 3 because they are actually still updating it xD
