apigee and webshell courses are created and maintained by those companies (our platform lets anyone create courses), so it's unfortunately up to them to edit -- we'll ping them regardless.

i'm the cofounder and ceo of codecademy -- would love to hear what everyone thinks!

it's going live on monday

which are you finding errors in? we keep a pretty vigilant watch on broken exercises (there's a dashboard in our office and we respond to bug reports as well) -- would love to fix these ASAP. thanks!

thanks for all of this feedback. we're launching some stuff next week that will help you get even closer to realizing all of this -- it gets you out of the terminal (the main UX now for users) and explains a lot more about the concepts you're learning.

would love to hear your feedback when this goes live!

can you shoot us a bug report so we can look into this?

this is not new! our name has always been codecademy.

I'm the cofounder of Codecademy, so I'm obviously a little biased. One of Codecademy's biggest strengths is definitely teaching the basic principles and beginning concepts in programming but many of our users have gone on both with Codecademy and with other resources to find jobs, create companies, or build their own side projects. A small sampling of people like that is here: codecademy.com/stories. Let us know if we can help with anything!
