I'm trying to form better habits for learning to code since I keep starting and stopping, which is really frustrating. I keep forgetting what I already learned because I don't stick with it. I'm exploring platforms that can give me a clear daily learning path, so I don't waste time figuring out what to do next. I came across Codefinity, which offers guided tracks with short lessons and daily goals. That structure seems like it could help me stay motivated. They offer courses in Python, SQL, and everything runs in the browser, which is a bonus. However, they don't have a free option, so I'm hesitant to spend money if it won't be helpful. Has anyone here tried Codefinity? Does it really help you stay on track and learn consistently? Any insights on it or alternatives would be great, especially for those of us who struggle with motivation.

Have you tried Codefinity yet?
I finished the beginner Python track on Codefinity, and it was more helpful than I expected.
Was it easy to follow?
I found Codefinity easier than I expected! I've tried other platforms before but always gave up. This one kept me going since the lessons are short and I felt like I was making progress. I'm actually planning to finish the full Python path!
After trying freeCodeCamp for a while, I noticed Codefinity lets you jump straight into practice without a ton of reading. For instance, when I learned about lists, they had me type 'my_list = [1, 2, 3]' in the first few minutes, and it really helped the concept stick.
I liked Codefinity's SQL course a lot! One cool part was sorting data using 'ORDER BY' and filtering it with 'WHERE.' It's simple stuff, but it clicked for me right away.
I'm doing that now! Just wrapped up the part on grouping results with 'GROUP BY.' It actually helped me at work when I had to read an SQL report.
Yeah, I remember that lesson! I think they used a pretend 'customers' table? The examples were really realistic.
Yes, I'm currently using it to learn Python!
