Codecademy: Training Resource

Codecademy: Training Resource

I have added a new training resource, Code Academy.

Codecademy is an online interactive platform that offers free coding classes in 12 different programming languages including Python, Java, Go, JavaScript, Ruby, SQL, C++, C#, and Swift, as well as markup languages HTML and CSS. A paid subscription provides certificates.

We’re living in an age of cutting-edge obsolescence.

Codecademy

Things are changing rapidly in our industry. To stay abreast of the changes and new technolgies being introduced almost daily in areas like machine learing, AI, prompt engineering and, of course, cybersecurity, I decided to pick up some addtional training to beef up my coding skills for the next round of projects. I decided to go with Code Academy. I have used Code Academy for years but always using the free plan. I purchased a Pro plan mainly because of the professional certificates they grant after their exams. Because of the competiveness in the job market currently due to the layoffs in the industry, it has once again become important to have a certification to show potential employers.

They offer career path assistance and even interview preparation. Check out the Data Analytics career path at Code Academy.
