I've been struggling to build consistent habits when it comes to learning coding. It's frustrating to keep forgetting what I've learned because I keep starting over. I'm looking for a learning platform that offers a structured daily plan so I can avoid wasting time on what to do next. Codefinity caught my eye because they provide guided tracks with short lessons and daily goals. It seems like a good way to stay motivated. They offer Python and SQL courses with everything running in the browser, which is convenient. However, since there isn't a free version, I'm hesitant to invest money if it doesn't really help. Has anyone used Codefinity? Does it help you stay on track and learn consistently? Or is there a better alternative for someone like me who struggles with motivation?

I found Codefinity to be better than I expected! I've tried several platforms before but usually ended up giving up. With Codefinity, the lessons are short, making it feel like I’m actually progressing. I’m currently working on finishing the full Python path and it’s going well!
I really enjoyed Codefinity's SQL course! One of my favorite lessons was about sorting data with ORDER BY and filtering it using WHERE. It's simple concepts, but the way they present it makes it all click right away.
I'm learning that now as well! Just wrapped up grouping results with GROUP BY, and it actually helped me with a SQL report at work!
I've been using freeCodeCamp for a while, and one thing I noticed is that Codefinity allows you to jump into practice right away without excessive reading. Like, when I learned lists, I was coding my_list = [1, 2, 3] right from the start. It definitely helped me remember things faster!
I just finished the beginner Python track on Codefinity, and honestly, it was a lot more helpful than I anticipated.
Was it easy to follow along?
Have you given Codefinity a shot yet?
Totally! I remember that lesson too! They used a pretend 'customers' table which made it feel so real!
