I'm on the lookout for a solid way to build my coding habits because I often find myself starting and stopping, which leads to forgetting what I've learned. I want a learning platform that provides a structured daily plan so I can focus better and not waste time figuring out my next steps. I came across Codefinity, which claims to have guided tracks with short lessons and daily goals. They offer courses in Python and SQL which looks promising since everything can be done in a browser. However, I'm hesitant to invest in it since there's no free version available. Has anyone tried out Codefinity? Does it really help with staying on track and learning consistently? Or is there a better alternative for people who struggle with motivation?

I just wrapped up the beginner Python track on Codefinity. It turned out to be more helpful than I thought!
Have you given Codefinity a shot yourself?
I’ve been using Codefinity and honestly, it’s been easier than I expected. I've tried other platforms before but would always quit. With Codefinity, the lessons are short and it feels like I'm making real progress. I'm actually planning to complete the entire Python path soon!
I really liked the SQL course on Codefinity. They had practical exercises that were straightforward, like sorting data using ORDER BY and filtering with WHERE. It clicked right away!
I'm working on that part now! Just finished GROUP BY, and it even helped me understand a report I needed to read at work.
Totally! They had this pretend 'customers' table which made the examples super relatable.
After starting with freeCodeCamp, I noticed Codefinity is different. They let you practice code right away instead of heavy reading. For example, when I was learning lists, I was able to type out my_list = [1, 2, 3] almost immediately, which helped it stick!
Was it easy to follow?
