Codecademy is very simple, you sign up (its free) and you start learning right away. The lessons are very easy but memorizing the codes can be a pain. If you practice everyday you will become an expert in no time! A piece of advice I will give to you is, you have to be patient when coding rather than rush through it. Also double check for any careless mistakes. I spent around 10 minutes staring at the laptop screen trying to figure out which I can't move on to the next step. Well it turns I forgot to capitalize one letter on a link and that messed up the whole code. You will start out with the basic how to write codes for HTML. Then you'll get to the fun part which is CSS, this allows you to give your website style and color.
For those who will be trying it for the first (like me). I say it is an amazing opportunity like no other. Especially in this age in time, where the field of technology is growing exponentially. Knowing how to code could be very beneficial to you. It benefited me because I was completely clueless about building a website and now I know the basics of how to do it. Who knows if you are really good at it, it can become your career. Just saying, Google how much a web developer makes. Everyone should try this course on coding and enter it with an open mind.
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has uses coding to build their various websites, which I noticed displayed as I walked around the Prospect Park Zoo. They learned how to make the website for people to see it and enjoy it. Building a website can be very useful and beneficial when it can help the planet become a better place. Wcs.org/birthday is a website to help kids celebrate their birthdays in a zoo, when they can have fun while also learning about wildlife. Even helpful campaigns can grow by building a great website such as 96elephants.org. Helping save the planets elephants can be a big project so they need to have a website that attracts people to it. Just goes to show the amazing things that code could create, you just have to learn the skills to do it.
