### Codecademy
Codecademy brings you short, digestible lessons where you can track your progress and get your skills tested. It is free for just about all starting courses, but if you want to get into more advanced courses then you will need to purchase Codecademy Pro. The free version, however, will work perfectly fine for just about everyone.
