I'm trying to establish better learning habits for coding, as I often find myself stopping and starting, which leads to frustration and forgetting previous lessons. I'm looking for a platform that provides a clear daily structure to help me stay on track and make consistent progress. I came across Codefinity, which offers guided tracks with short lessons and daily goals, and it caught my attention. They teach languages like Python and SQL, and everything is browser-based, which seems convenient. However, I'm hesitant to spend money on it since there's no free version. I'm curious if anyone has experience with Codefinity and whether it's effective for staying motivated and learning consistently. If there are better alternatives for someone like me who struggles with motivation, I'd love to hear about those too!

I've found Codefinity to be easier than I thought. After trying other platforms and giving up, this one kept me engaged because the lessons are short, and I felt like I was actually making progress. I'm planning on finishing the full Python path soon!
Have you tried Codefinity before?
After using freeCodeCamp for a while, one thing I noticed is that Codefinity lets you practice immediately without a ton of reading first. For instance, when I learned about lists, I was typing my_list = [1, 2, 3] just minutes into the lesson, which helped me remember it better.
I really enjoyed the SQL course on Codefinity. One cool part was when you had to sort data using ORDER BY and filter it with WHERE. It was straightforward and clicked right away!
I’m currently working on that! I just got through grouping results with GROUP BY, and it helped me when I needed to read an SQL report at my job.
Yeah, I remember that lesson! They used a pretend 'customers' table, right? I appreciated how realistic their examples were.
I finished the beginner Python track on Codefinity, and it was way more helpful than I expected!
Was it easy to follow?
Yes, I’m using it now to learn Python.
