    Q:   Are Codecademy courses helpful?
    A: 

    Yes, Codecademy courses are valuable for beginners and intermediate learners willing to learn coding, data science, web development, etc. Learners will learn programming concepts in a simulated coding environment.

    Codecademy is especially useful for:

    • New learners who wish to learn programming from the beginning.

    Faculty: The faculty is highly experienced and knowledgeable. They provide detailed instruction and guidance throughout the course . The course curriculum for Learn CSS was comprehensive and covered a lot of topics from the basics of HTML and CSS to more complex topics like Flexbox, grid layout, and responsive design. I particularly liked that each lesson was broken down into easy-to-follow steps with plenty of examples and visual cues. It was also nice that the instructor provided several challenges throughout the course to help test and reinforce the concepts that were taught.
    Course Support: The course provided me with an in-depth understanding of CSS, from basic concepts to more advanced features. It also taught me how to write clean and efficient CSS code and how to properly structure my files for maximum readability. Finally, it provided me with tips and tricks on how to debug problems and trouble shoot common issues.
