The teaching methodology at Codefinity is excellent, and I particularly appreciate how it has prepared me to handle real-world coding problems. Currently, I am delving into Node.js and eagerly anticipate building full-stack projects that integrate all the knowledge I have gained.

My first course was 4 hours, I did it in a few days, "nugget-style. The instructions are very clear and easy to understand. There is even a hint to help you get the answer, and if you still cannot get the answer, then you can display the answer.  I love the learning style that is used, it engages me.

I have really liked the browser-based lessons that allow me to code within the lesson. The RUN button allows me to test the code I write before submitting for a grade.

As I went through the first course of the Python track, I liked the way the course was lay out (in easy and digestible modules) with little exercises at the end of each concept.
