I started the Python 3 skills course which consists of a lot of the basics that we have learned  within previous courses.   So far I am pretty impressed with the structure of the lessons and projects.  As well as how organized they have made it.  It\u2019s well organized and easy to follow. Even though I do have prior experience in python through the  bachelors  program at Oregon State.  I find the way that Codecademy presents the material is easier to retain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it really brings the question if is it worth getting a college degree in computer science  if you can learn basically everything from Codecademy for a fraction of the price.  Well if you are only learning the material to gain the skill that just Codecademy would be the route to take.  But if you\u2019re trying todo a career change within a big company than I would still suggest the college degree but also use Codecamdey as a tool to strengthen your skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, I bought a membership with Codecademy to strengthen my programming skills in python.
