I've been struggling to build consistent coding habits because I often stop and start. It's super frustrating to forget what I've learned just because I couldn't stick with it. I'm looking for a platform that provides a clear daily plan so I don't waste time figuring out what to do next. I came across Codefinity, which offers guided tracks with small lessons and daily goals, and I think that kind of structure might help keep me motivated. They teach Python and SQL, and everything's done in the browser, which sounds convenient. The catch is, they don't have a free version, and I want to make sure it doesn't end up being a waste of money. Has anyone used Codefinity, and does it really help with staying on track and consistent learning? Are there better options for someone like me who needs motivation?

I found Codefinity easier than I expected. I’ve tried other platforms before but always ended up quitting. This one kept my interest because the lessons are short, and I felt like I was actually making progress. I’m planning to finish the whole Python path!
Have you tried Codefinity before?
I finished the beginner Python track on Codefinity, and it was more helpful than I expected it to be.
Was it easy to follow?
After using freeCodeCamp for a bit, I noticed Codefinity lets you jump into practice without too much reading. Like, when I was learning lists, I had to type my_list = [1, 2, 3] right away, which helped it stick for me.
I liked the SQL course on Codefinity. There was one exercise where we had to sort data with ORDER BY and filter it with WHERE. It was basic but very straightforward, and it made sense right away.
Yeah, I remember that lesson! I think they used a pretend "customers" table? The realistic examples made it easy to grasp.
I’m doing that course now! Just wrapped up the part about grouping results with GROUP BY. It really helped me at work since I had to read an SQL report.
Yeah, I’m using it now to learn Python!
