I'm a 13-year-old who's pretty new to coding but knows a bit of Python. I want to start learning more about coding and I've come across a few options. First up is Codecademy—I've had a decent experience with it even though I hear some people aren't huge fans, plus it's currently half off. Then there's freeCodeCamp, which looks quite similar to Codecademy but seems to offer a lot more variety and is free, all while focusing on community support. Lastly, I found boot.dev, which leans more towards back-end stuff and other niche topics. So, I'm wondering if Codecademy is actually worth it given my limited experience.

Why not try working on a simple project that's slightly beyond what you already know? This way, you can learn by doing and using documentation to help fill the gaps. It's a practical approach that can really boost your skills.
Honestly, I'd go with the free option first! FreeCodeCamp is packed with resources and a supportive community that can really help you along the way. Plus, you won't be shelling out any cash if you just want to test the waters.
Yeah, but if you want to commit, you can always start free and upgrade later!
Are you sure about that? It's about half off for just a few more hours, so if you were leaning towards Codecademy, now might be a good time!
