I've been struggling to build solid habits around learning to code. I keep starting over, and it's frustrating when I forget previous lessons just because I lost my rhythm. I'm looking for a platform with a clear daily plan to help me focus and avoid wasting time figuring out what to learn next. I came across Codefinity, which offers guided learning paths with short lessons and daily goals, and it seems like it could keep me motivated. They have options for learning Python and SQL, and everything's browser-based, which is convenient. However, since there's no free version, I'm hesitant to invest money if it's not that effective. Has anyone here used Codefinity? Does it help you stay on track and learn consistently? Or is there another platform you'd recommend for someone like me who finds motivation a challenge?

I actually found Codefinity easier than I thought it would be. I've tried a bunch of other sites but usually gave up, while this one kept me engaged because the lessons are short and I felt like I made real progress. I'm planning to complete the whole Python path soon!
I really enjoyed the SQL course on Codefinity. They had this cool exercise about sorting data using ORDER BY and filtering with WHERE. It was basic, but it clicked right away!
I just did that lesson! I finished grouping results with GROUP BY, and it actually helped me read a SQL report for work.
After using freeCodeCamp for a bit, I noticed that Codefinity lets you jump right into practice without too much reading. For instance, when I was learning about lists, they had me type out my_list = [1, 2, 3] within the first few minutes, which helped me remember it much faster!
Have you had any experience with Codefinity yet?
I completed the beginner Python track on Codefinity. It was surprisingly helpful. I thought it would be basic, but it actually laid things out pretty well!
I remember that lesson! They had a pretend ‘customers’ table, right? The realistic examples really helped me understand.
