Learning to code through Codecademy: a great idea, but not quite perfected | gpmt | Scoop.it

"As a librarian with a strong interest in web services, I’ve always wanted to improve my coding skills.

Codecademy is the easiest way to learn how to code. It’s interactive, fun, and you can do it with your friends. "
