Hi Everyone,
I saw a little banner asking for peoples Codecademy stories so I thought I’d share mine,
I started using Codecademy about 18 months ago. Originally I wanted to just take a look over the HTML course to help with a couple of WordPress sites I was trying to get up and running. I found the course so easy to follow and interesting that I started to set aside a couple of hours a week to try and learn a little more.
At the time I was working a really terrible job and hating it. I’d grad…
Hi there!
I’d love to share my story for the others not to lose their faith in themselves.
About 1.5 years ago I was sitting in my room tired after the day of work i did not enjoy that much. I have a friend who is a developer and I really enjoyed having conversations with him.

Hey guys,
I was encouraged to share my story with you here so here it is.
My name is Tomas, I live in Prague, Czech Republic and this year I turned 30. My biggest passion has always been aviation - after high school, I went on to serve in Czech Air Force and became an air traffic controller. After leaving the military, I worked several different jobs in aviation, the last one being a Technical Writer for a large corporation.
During my time with this company, I started to realize that I am en…
Hello world! I recently landed my first role as a Web Developer with a local company and it all started with Codecademy. I thought it would be useful to share my story and help answer any questions in the hopes of helping others achieve their goals as well!
Earlier in 2018, I found myself at a bit of a stand still with my career. I was working as a Union Representative, so I was negotiating contracts, handling grievances, etc. I felt a bit stuck in my current role and saw no real way forward, s…
Hi everybody,
I’d like to share what Codeacademy has allowed me to do in hopes of inspiring more people to get into programming themselves and to see that you can greatly reap the benefits after spending some time learning:grin:
I spent around some time on Codeacademy starting out with learning Html and CSS and progressing to Java because I had a massive interest in making things. I was young starting out so I had plenty of time on my hands and me getting bored one day and having an interest i…
