Learn coding on a site that seems to get it right. Lots of information, multiple languages, and mentors to help you get past a difficult problem.

Fantastic site, highly recommended!

Wow, I'm in computer science 1 this semester and my instructor is not great at breaking things down. This may help save my semester!

If my comment helps a couple of people, I will be giddy for days lol.

I was too lazy to pull out my laptop last night, but I looked at it on my phone and it looks like it's going to be such a helpful resource! I'm going to share with a few of my classmates who are also struggling with the lack of instruction. You've definitely helped at least one poor computer science student, thank you so much!

This looks awesome! How is this free?

Donations of money, and time from volunteer mentors.

Just dug in some more and saw it's open-source too, and they teach you how to contribute. I'm in love.

I've been planning to learn Javascript and Python -- you just made my month!

I'm about 10% into the Python track. I'm digging it so far :)
