Good for beginners I guess. I'll wait until the advanced part comes in :)
Thanks for the share +1

I was just planning to sit down today and learn python from an ebook, now im on section 3 of this course even though it's a bit buggy. It's easier for me cause I'm a hands on learner so the projects are already defined which allows me to learn faster XD
The only problem is that every once in awhile i have to refresh the page or the run button doesn't work, and sometimes they don't explain themselves clearly enough so I skipped a section or two because I knew how to do it but didn't know what they wanted in the practice field.

Thanks again for the link Factionwars, +1 :D

You are not the only one who has the problem with the "run" button. I have seen a lot of comments and they are all clear, they do all have that problem.

But thanks for the link Factionswars +1

Yah, i already know python but did the course for fun and points :D, but it could have been written better. Also very much the same shit over and over again.

I am really excited to try it out, mostly because I have tried learning languages from books, and it has never really helped me, but I tried codeacademy and it was awesome.

Finally, I've been waiting for this. Was learning Javascript for awhile with codeacademy but then I got bored.  :P

Now they just need a C course..
