Learn Java

As somebody who already knows Java, I tried out CodeAcademy to see what the fuss is all about, and I think it is horrible. Don't get me wrong, it's a well put together website and the order it introduces concepts in is great, but you'll probably never get anything more than an ultra-basic understand of the language.

With CodeCademy, you have learnt Java syntax, but not actually Java programming. You need a proper course to teach you so that you can actually program.

Codecademy may be good for simple languages, like HTML and CSS, but it seriously lacks for complicated, OOP languages like Java. Codecademy at best teaches syntax, but not programming. Hell, it doesn't even teach how to write a complete class, save how to do the whole offline in an editor outside the browser, and even less how to compile and run Java code.

Codecademy is nice to get a taste of programming, but that's it. It's really the most basic level that doesn't include much at all about programming itself. It's little more than syntax.

Codecademy is great for starting out, but note that sometimes their instructions are not done well.

In my opinion codecademy is the very best resource for the eary part when you still have mixups between function bodies and objects.

Codeacademy is a decent site to get a mild introduction to coding, but the exercises only take you so far. It is more of an appetizer plate than a full meal.
