At one point I created over 50 coding courses for a popular learning platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This taught me about how information should be relayed so that the students learn most efficiently. And I\u2019ll be holding Codecademy to that same standard in this review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why consider taking Codecademy\u2019s Full Stack Engineer Career Path?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s many ways (free and paid) to learn Front-End and Back-End development online. The draw of Codecademy\u2019s <em>Career Paths<\/em> is the streamlined curriculum taking you from start to finish in just a few months, without having to do a bunch of manual research and keep jumping back and forth between different resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attractive user interface has been created to make learning more immersive and fun. There\u2019s also a community within the platform to help you out whenever you\u2019re stuck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, their offer does seem to give some compelling reasons for choosing Codecademy over other ways of becoming a Full-Stack Engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole career path has 50 units with 168 total lessons. There\u2019s several intermediate-level projects to apply your new skills, as well as multiple code challenges inside each unit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s not kid ourselves \u2013 to become a Full-Stack Engineer from scratch, you\u2019ll need to put in a serious amount of work. <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_5fd6e1-dd .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_5fd6e1-dd size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Progress.jpg\" alt=\"Progress bar\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-46610\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For each lesson, you should be getting your hands dirty implementing the code yourself. And coding out those complete projects will take a bunch of effort and time as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6 months is a reasonable timeline to go through the course in this focused manner. If you\u2019re highly motivated, smart, and with a lot of free time on your hands, you might be able to do it in three months, or even two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact timeline depends on you and your circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The curriculum consists of a number of modules, each teaching you one major aspect of Full Stack development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The text-based lessons inside each module introduce you to one concept at a time, which you\u2019re then asked to implement via Codecademy\u2019s signature built-in coding environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of a module, you need to pass a two-part exam to further <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/codecademy-certificates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prove your learnings and receive your Codecademy Certificate<\/a> at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features of Codecademy\u2019s Full Stack Engineer Career Path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s now have a look at what exactly is inside the program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 6 modules in total, aimed at progressing you from the basics to job-ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Module 1: Web Development Fundamentals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you\u2019ll be learning how to use HTML &amp; CSS to create the scripts for websites. This includes local development, deployment, and styling your websites using CSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Module 2: Interactive Web Development with JavaScript<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JavaScript is used to make websites interactive \u2013 and that\u2019s what Codecademy will teach you in this module. By the end, you\u2019ll be asked to create your very own portfolio website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Module 3: Front-End Development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Front-End development module will go deeper into JavaScript development and testing, as well as introduce the React framework, and give further instruction on how to use Git and GitHub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The portfolio project for this module will be to build your own Reddit-inspired message board app.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Module 4: Back-End Development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Back-End part of the career path, you\u2019ll dive into using the Express.js framework in the back end, as well as databases with PostgreSQL and REST APIs. You\u2019ll then build your own e-commerce app with REST API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Module 5: Full-Stack Development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the fifth module you\u2019ll first learn about Front-End to Back-End connection and deploying web apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you\u2019ll get a deeper education in security and DevOps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll finish by fleshing out the client side of your e-com app and merging it with the back-end you\u2019ve already built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Module 6: Interview Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interview prep module is interesting for those who actually want to get a job as a Full-Stack developer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It teaches you everything from data structures &amp; algorithms to the soft skills you need to win at both the technical and behavioral part of Software Engineering interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lesson Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are smaller projects you find inside almost all lessons. They come with many hints, holding your hand until you\u2019ve coded the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenge Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either complete the projects inside the built-in environment (and share it by creating a <em>Gist<\/em>), or off-platform (and share it on <em>GitHub<\/em>) as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards, you can download Codecademy\u2019s solution code and compare it to yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They do have some <em>starter code<\/em> to get you running, but you\u2019ll be doing most of the work yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_ab1ba4-c6 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_ab1ba4-c6 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bytes-of-china-Codecademy-Full-Stack-project.jpg\" alt=\"Bytes of China, one of the projects inside Codecademy's Full Stack Engineer Career Path\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-46611\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Portfolio Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Portfolio projects<\/em> are meant to get you to become autonomous as a developer \u2013 able to create your own applications from scratch, from architecture, to coding, to deployment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As opposed to Codecademy\u2019s other more hand-held projects, you\u2019re asked to gather your own resources, and write an individual app using your own code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is something you can confidently show off to potential employers, in contrast to the guided projects which thousands of others have built in the same way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence the name <em>portfolio projects<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quizzes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Codecademy have created a number of quizzes for you to test your retention of important Full-Stack concepts \u2013 while keeping your learning journey as fun and interesting as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The community feature you get with Codecademy is invaluable. No matter how thorough the educational material, it\u2019s inevitable you\u2019ll get stuck at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where the member forums come to the rescue. For any obstacle you run into, there will be someone who\u2019s been there before and can share their insights with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, you can can create your own journal-type thread to document your progress with the Full-Stack curriculum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The accountability and feedback you get from this community of peers can be most motivating and helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros &amp; Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The interactive UI is one of Codecademy\u2019s strongest points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The abundance of code challenges, quizzes and projects means your learning will never be passive, but always very hands-on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The training is laid out very well, with lessons building on one another<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They\u2019ve done a great job at combining guided learning with getting you to be more and more self-sufficient the further along you are in your <em>journey to Full-Stack<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Codecademy is mostly text- and code-based with few instructional videos.

it\u2019s not challenging you enough, you can always add on other books and resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With any course, that\u2019s a good idea anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns_c1042b-a8{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns_c1042b-a8
