career paths<\/em> that prepare you for a job in different Software Engineering fields.<\/p>\nSkill Paths<\/p>\n
Udemy<\/p>\n
Udemy doesn’t have skill paths \u2013 only individual courses. Some are larger and aim to make you a specialist in a whole field, but they’re still not as exhaustive and intense as the full career paths on Codecademy. Thus Udemy is better for picking a course that teaches you more isolated skills.<\/p>\n
Projects<\/p>\n
Codecademy<\/p>\n
Each Codecademy Pro course includes multiple projects to put what you’ve studied into practice. You can create your code right inside the platform using their built-in coding environment.<\/p>\n
Projects<\/p>\n
Udemy<\/p>\n
Only some of Udemy’s courses feature projects as part of their curriculum \u2013 it depends on the course publisher. You need to build your projects outside of Udemy using an external code editor.<\/p>\n
Community<\/p>\n
Codecademy<\/p>\n
The community forums on Codecademy are useful if you’re ever stuck on a problem and need help from your peers. You can also share your own learning journey or follow along with others’ progress for inspiration.<\/p>\n
Community<\/p>\n
Udemy<\/p>\n
Udemy lacks a built-in forum for students, so going through their courses is mostly a solitary affair. At least a few instructors are offering their students a separate, private community to go along with their courses.<\/p>\n
Pricing<\/p>\n
Codecademy<\/p>\n
Codecademy’s monthly Pro membership is neither super cheap nor prohibitively expensive. If you’re serious about studying and\/or have professional ambitions as a programmer, it’s a reasonable investment.<\/p>\n
The yearly option gives you a significant discount on your membership fees.<\/em><\/p>\nPricing<\/p>\n
Udemy<\/p>\n
Prices for Udemy courses vary from free, to cheap, to medium-priced. The many low-cost options make it a good choice if you want to just dip your toes into a topic while spending a lot less money than you would elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Its affordable prices and many opportunities to score a bargain are Udemy’s biggest plus.<\/em><\/p>\nInside this review<\/strong><\/p>\nMy method of comparing Codecademy and Udemy<\/h2>\n
My background<\/strong><\/p>\nI\u2019ve worked as a Full-Stack Software Engineer, Software Consultant, and an online instructor in the field of computer programming for over a decade. <\/span><\/p>\nDuring my career I\u2019ve learned 15 programming languages to a level where I could teach others \u2013 which has led me to create 55 courses at a popular code-learning website.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"John](\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/John-Sonmez-Software-Engineering-Instructor.jpg\" "\\"John")
<\/span><\/p>\nThe metrics I\u2019ve used for this comparison<\/strong><\/p>\nTo establish which platform is superior between Udemy and Codecademy, I\u2019ve looked at the following:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Content range, depth & quality<\/span><\/li>\n
- User experience<\/span><\/li>\n
- Real-world applicability<\/span><\/li>\n
- Community<\/span><\/li>\n
- Price-performance ratio<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How I\u2019ve determined the ratings<\/strong><\/p>\nI\u2019ve taken several Software Development\/Computer Science courses on Udemy. And I\u2019ve gone through some of the skill paths in Codecademy Pro \u2013 so I can give a real review & qualified comparison of both platforms.<\/span><\/p>\nUdemy and Codecademy Do learning Differently<\/h2>\n
The biggest difference between Udemy & Codecademy is how the courses are presented \u2013 and most people will prefer one style over the other:<\/p>\n
Huge course menu vs selected skill paths<\/h3>\n
Udemy<\/strong> has over 10,000 Software Development courses vs Codecademy\u2019s 100+. This means there isn\u2019t a topic you can\u2019t find a training on.<\/p>\n![\"Udemy's](\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Udemy-Course-Menu.jpg\" "\\"Udemy-Course-Menu\\"")
<\/span><\/p>\nBut it\u2019s also up to you to separate the wheat from the chaff. Using their filters, reviews and ratings, you\u2019ll need to judge whether each course is actually worth your time and money.<\/p>\n
Codecademy<\/strong>\u2019s aim is to provide a streamlined education in a smaller number of topics (even then, they do cover a lot of ground!). You don\u2019t have to search for long until you find what you want to study.<\/p>\nAnd the courses are consistent in their quality, because they\u2019ve been created by the same team.<\/p>\n
Learning through videos vs with coding tasks<\/h3>\n
Most of Udemy<\/strong>\u2019s courses consist of classic video lectures: The instructor is explaining the course topics by means of whiteboard presentations or screenshare videos.<\/p>\nCodecademy\u2019s approach is different<\/strong>:<\/p>\nWhile there are articles to read and resources to go through, the bulk of each program is formulated as written instructions accompanied by relevant code snippets. <\/p>\n
You\u2019re then tasked with executing each piece you\u2019ve learned about via CC\u2019s own code editor that\u2019s always visible in a split-screen view.<\/p>\n
![\"Codecademy's](\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Split-Screen-Code-Editor.jpg\" "\\"Split-Screen-Code-Editor\\"")
<\/span><\/p>\nBoth ways have their pros and cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- If you like to treat a coding course as simply something to take in information from, and to refer back to if needed, then Udemy<\/strong> is a good addition to your resources.<\/li>\n
- Codecademy<\/strong> is for you if you want to check off each step \u2013 like in a game that gets progressively difficult \u2013 while you code your way to a finished program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Course examples from both platforms<\/h2>\n
To get a glimpse into what courses at the two education websites look like, check out some examples below.<\/p>\n
A few of the best classes at Udemy<\/h3>\n
The Complete JavaScript Course 2023: From Zero to Expert!<\/strong>The most popular course on JavaScript with a rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. Over 69 hours of content (in 320 lectures) it\u2019ll take you from beginner status all the way to proficiency in JavaScript. To get cheaper access to the course, wait for one of Udemy\u2019s frequent discounts or subscribe to the affordable monthly plan. <\/p>\nUnreal Engine 5 C++ Developer: Learn C++ & Make Video Games<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Udemy's](\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Unreal-Developer-Udemy-Course.jpg\" "\\"Unreal-Developer-Udemy-Course\\"")
<\/span><\/p>\nUdemy has some great courses on game development, and this is one of the best available on their platform. It teaches you C++ from the ground up and has you create your first game using the popular Unreal Engine.<\/p>\n
Algorithms Data Structures in Java #1 (+INTERVIEW QUESTIONS)<\/strong>You can even use Udemy to prepare for your coding interview in different languages. With this training, for example, you\u2019ll learn data structures & algorithms and apply your new knowledge by solving interview questions using Java.<\/p>\nCodecademy Pro\u2019s best and most popular courses<\/h3>\n
Learn Python 3<\/strong>Learn Python 3<\/em> is the most popular language course inside Codecademy Plus\/Pro. It takes you from beginner to intermediate in a fun, gamified way. If you want to start your coding career by learning a language that\u2019s both easy and popular, on a challenging and motivating platform, check out this course included in Codecademy\u2019s paid tiers.<\/p>\nMachine Learning Basics<\/strong>When you hop on the Machine Learning trend, consider taking a training that makes it easy to start \u2013 because ML can be a tough topic. Codecademy breaks it down into manageable chunks for you, so you won\u2019t get frustrated by its complexity.<\/p>\nThe Complete Full-Stack Engineer Career Path<\/strong>Want to dive into a full-on career in Software Engineering? Codecademy aims to get you there within 6 months.<\/p>\n![\"Full](\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Codecademy-Full-Stack-Engineer-Course.jpg\" "\\"Codecademy")
<\/span><\/p>\nYou\u2019ll learn Front- and Back-End web development as well as Algorithms & Data structures (including thorough interview prep) over the course of 51 modules \u2013 putting you well on your way to a Full-Stack Engineering position.<\/p>\n
User experience at Udemy and Codecademy compared<\/h2>\n
Udemy\u2019s<\/strong> courses are comprised of at least 50% instructional videos. You could see this as a major selling point for the platform.<\/p>\nSome of the shorter courses consist of just one longer video or a few shorter ones. But with most you also get written explanations and in many cases, downloadable materials.<\/p>\n
This means the experience of going through their courses isn\u2019t a dry experience. It\u2019s also easy enough to navigate the material. Overall, Udemy\u2019s UX is nothing special \u2013 but there\u2019s also not much to complain about. It\u2019s decent.<\/p>\n
As a dedicated code-learning platform, Codecademy\u2019s<\/strong> UI has some unique features (like the split-screen code editor). Another unique selling point is the course layout with the bite-sized code challenges.<\/p>\nYou can tell the course creators have put much thought and effort into building out its structure in a logical and motivating way.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m rating the user experience at Codecademy as superior to Udemy.<\/p>\n

The disadvantages of each site<\/h2>\n
The perfect code-learning website doesn\u2019t yet exist. So there\u2019s bound to be negatives to these two platforms as well.<\/p>\n
Here are the cons I\u2019ve found with both Codecademy and Udemy: <\/p>\n
Negatives of Codecademy<\/h3>\n\n- If you\u2019re after a full-on bootcamp experience<\/strong> to maximally level up your career, there\u2019s even more intensive & effective platforms than Codecademy out there (but they\u2019re also much more expensive).<\/span><\/li>\n
- If you just want to get your feet wet<\/strong> but don\u2019t want to go full on into learning to code right now, the monthly cost might be too much of an investment.<\/span><\/li>\n
- If you\u2019re already quite advanced<\/strong> in your programming skills, many of CC\u2019s courses might not challenge you enough.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Codecademy\u2019s certificates are not officially accredited<\/strong>, so in some cases they won\u2019t add much value to your resume.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Negatives of Udemy<\/h3>\n\n- Some of Udemy\u2019s content is outdated<\/strong>, of low quality, or occasionally even a complete rip-off. Before you buy a course, make sure to vet it carefully by checking the reviews. Thankfully Udemy has a generous refund policy \u2013 so in the worst case you\u2019ll have wasted time and effort, but not money.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Udemy\u2019s certificates aren\u2019t accredited <\/strong>either. Just like Codecademy\u2019s, they only make sense to put on your resume if you\u2019re interviewing for an entry-level position.<\/span><\/li>\n
- The cost can still add up<\/strong> even though many individual courses are cheap. And if you\u2019re planning to take multiple more involved bootcamps or masterclasses, a Codecademy membership could come out cheaper than spending $60+ each time you start a new program at Udemy.<\/span><\/li>\n
- You can\u2019t save the courses for offline training<\/strong>. Udemy also doesn\u2019t have a mobile app for coding training on the go.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Video lectures can encourage passivity. <\/strong>While many of the course videos are of high quality, the format isn\u2019t as motivating as Codecademy\u2019s. Be wary of falling into \u201cconsumer mode\u201d, only watching the videos without putting your learnings into practice. That way you\u2019ll retain a lot less than if you\u2019re coding right alongside the lessons.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instructors<\/h2>\n
At Codecademy<\/strong> the course contents are created by a team of experienced:<\/p>\n\n- Product Managers,<\/li>\n
- Curriculum Managers & Developers,<\/li>\n
- and Software Engineers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The materials are of high quality, and any bugs reported about the platform are being fixed.<\/p>\n
