Why doesn’t Codecademy teach C or C++? UT Austin teaches this for Engineering majors, and it’s a very hard class. It would be very helpful if Codecademy taught it, because UT sucks at it.
Because codecademy focuses on web development and is trying to keep it simple (relatively speaking), and like you say, c and c++ are not easy languages to start with, but i am sure there are plenty of other useful resources
