C# uses the .net framework in windows computers in which browsers are prohibited to directly utilize to prevent getting hacked.

So is there another reason <bad link snip> can include a C# compiler?

Uh… (thinking of what to say)

Note that .NET only provides the standard library for C#. You don't need it to run basic code.

I like codecademny, but what stinks like crazy is that they don't have tutorials on Java.

I joined a few months a go to learn python. I keep putting it off though.

I finished everything but Python. The tutorial bored me and I found the Javascript one to be the best (I'm pretty sure when Codecademy came out Javascript was the only tutorial).

I'd love to learn all those languages, but I don't have the patience or time.

Some day I should lock myself in a room and force myself to learn. Even though I want to…

It's hard to learn things that you're not interested in, so rather than forcing yourself to learn, create a form of interest – just grab a copy of Python and start writing a game, using tutorials and the official docs as reference.

It's hard to learn something when you're not incorporating it to your own goal. You can write codes following instructions but making your very own website/game is a lot more fun.

I'm doing the web course now, that would be most helpful for me.

I can't finish the JavaScript track. AAAAAAARGH. I have no idea what to do in the last lesson. T_T I was so close to 100%.

The objects part of the Javascript course can be confusing; worse comes to worse look at the forums for the particular section.

woah, you made and created codecademy

wow man, that must have taken a while

I love codecademy. I also use it in school sometimes

Very nice website imo

Though I think it was better some years ago, when it had a lot more freedom for those who used it for free..

Codecademy website.

I found this website extremely helpful for learning basic programming when I had virtually nowhere else to go (and I actually was able to understand it!).

I strongly suggest this to beginners who have absolutely no experience with programming.

Discuss your experiences with it here!

I tried to sign up to codecademy but it kept saying i needed to pay for some reason.

I bet like 99% people came here just for the url

Codecademy is only good if you get pro, which I don't have

It used to be totally free with Pro giving you some bonus stuff. It's too bad, it really was the best free option at the time. It still has good stuff I think but not like it was.

Honestly Codecademy was my launching point into real programming. It's been a long time - yeesh, nearly 10 years??? - and I've been a professional software dev for the past 3 of those years in part because of the building blocks Scratch and Codecademy gave me. I'm quitting soon to go back to school full time for cognitive science and computer science, but I've come such a long way and I wouldn't be here without all this.

Anyway, not to derail the convo, but a lot of you are young and where I used to be. I'm proud of all of you guys and what you have and will accomplish one day. Keep on keepin on, never give up, and Scratch on!
