Setting goals for 2020 to become a more versatile entrepreneur. I’ve been working through Code Academy’s python program over the past few weeks and I’m looking for other ways to grow as a programmer.

1) Has any more experienced programmer used Code Academy and what do they think of it?

2) As I’m finishing the python3 program, I’m wondering what my next logical move would be. Leetcode? Or maybe complete the Java Program?

    There's a python Reddit where you will find really good opinions. Blind is for people who are stuck in FAANG jobs and aren't yet entrepreneurs.

  • I used code academy a longggg time ago. I remember it being good for quickstart overview of languages and topics I was thinking about taking deeper dives in.

    What is your particular end goal with programming? That will guide a lot of your direction.

      Looking to see how I can develop innovative technologies and understand the power of program. I know that’s an incredibly vague statement, but I don’t think I can really know what I want to do with it until I understand it.

    • Fair enough, I think code academy can be a good starting point at the free tier. Not sure about the paid plan as there are plenty of free resources on the Internet from free books, or sites like Microsoft virtual academy, Google Developers, etc.
