Compared freeCodeCamp vs Codecademy for learning Python and one was way better for me
I tried freeCodeCamp for 3 weeks and got stuck on their explanations, then switched to Codecademy and finished their beginner Python track in 10 days. Has anyone else found the interactive setup makes that big a difference for staying motivated?

10 days to finish is WILD, I'm still stuck on the Python functions module.

That's actually not quite how the time thing works in those tracks. Most people count "finishing" differently because Codecademy counts lessons you click through as complete even if you haven't really absorbed the material yet (I did the same thing when I started). Still though, if it kept you motivated and moving forward that's what matters.
