Wondering if codeacademy would build a course on VBA, particularly on excel, marcos and forms.

Wondering about learning XML here, along with with the casted vote for LUA also understand how to organize and create a Table of Contents document (though simple perhaps). I basically have to start over as I haven’t used my computer skills much since High School. Taking a big crack at it now.

Exactly! I’ve been wanting to learn Swift with a solid resource for a long time now, not just youTube videos. Swift would be especially useful, I would just hope that you are also able to create games and animations using metal, scene kit, sprite kit and core animation.

Scala would be useful

Shell scripting would be an interesting course, but it may be more specialized than what Codecademy wants to offer, especially since it would need to build upon a bash knowledge base. There are more useful languages, such as C++, which can and should be targeted first.

I would love to see a wordpress theme creation track. The different track PHP, CSS and HTML are good start. But there is so many different files to build up and to call and integrate that a well designed track as you can do would be helpful.

Python 3 is listed as a course suggestion, but even as someone new to the Python language I gather that there is a somewhat special situation in regards to Python 2/3 with many opinions. Perhaps there should just be one course (the existing one) and a unit in that course where the differences between Python 2 and 3 are covered, educating the programmer. Later, as Python 2 is phased out (date already set to 2020), the course could be updated to purely version 3 syntax.

I really wish they would expand the JavaScript course.

I made this from a book:

This! Bootstrap is only a template for that can make a fast and easy customized webpage. It’s really not worth a tutorial at all and it comes with enough documentation even a novice in html can use it.
