Hey everyone! I'm looking to develop better habits for learning coding since I often find myself stopping and starting over. It can be so frustrating to forget what I've learned just because I didn't stick with it. I've been searching for a learning platform that provides a clear daily plan so I can focus on what to learn next without wasting time. I came across Codefinity, and it seems like they offer guided tracks with short lessons and daily goals. This structure really interests me because I think it could help keep me motivated. They have courses for Python and SQL, and everything runs in the browser, which is a plus. However, I'm hesitant since there's no free version and I don't want to waste money if it's not worthwhile. Has anyone here used Codefinity, and did it help you stay on track and learn consistently? Or do you know of other options that work well for those of us who struggle with motivation?

Have you tried Codefinity before?
After using freeCodeCamp for a while, one thing I'd mention is that Codefinity lets you dive into practice right away without too much reading. For instance, when I learned about lists, they had me type my_list = [1, 2, 3] within the first few minutes. That really helped the concepts stick.
I found Codefinity easier than I expected. I've tried other sites and always ended up giving up. But Codefinity kept me going because the lessons are short, and I really felt like I was making progress. I'm planning to finish the full Python path.
I really enjoyed Codefinity's SQL course! There was this example where you had to sort data using ORDER BY and filter it with WHERE. It was simple stuff but made total sense right away.
I’m currently on that! Just finished grouping results with GROUP BY, and it actually helped me at work when I needed to read an SQL report.
Yeah, I remember that lesson! I think they used a pretend 'customers' table? I loved how realistic their examples were.
I finished the beginner Python track on Codefinity, and it was more helpful than I anticipated.
Yes, I'm using it now to learn Python.
