Great comment! You are right in the fact that it doesn't cost you anything (or much) to learn to code, but what we would argue is what is the most effective way to learn? We started out down this path 18 months ago. We exhausted all the books, tutorials, screencasts, and workshops you could find, and while we learned a lot, we still weren't where we wanted to be. If we decided to keep fighting through I am sure we would have gotten to a proficient level, but we just stopped and wondered, "why isn't there a better way to do this?" So that is why we created Code Academy. There are many ways to learn how to code, but we strongly believe that offer the best learning environment for people who want to learn how to build web applications. |

It's great that there is a more structured way to learning to code out side of a class, beyond just hitting the books and hoping it sticks. It's like the perfect mix of formal and informal learning.
I wish you guys great success for the future!
