Codecademy
@codecademy
US online education company founded in 2011 by Zach Sims and Ryan Bubinski; acquired by Skillsoft in 2022. The platform delivers programming and data education through interactive exercises, projects and learning paths created by multiple educators. CourseIQ lists the Pro subscription, so curriculum and features depend on that plan rather than an individual coach. Completing a learning path does not by itself guarantee employment or a recognised professional qualification.
