I like to comment on all Codecademy posts this fact: I learned to code on Codecademy for 3 months, then 3 months of trial and error projects on my own. 18 months after writing my first line of code, I run my own successful consulting business and have launched web and mobile products with over a million users and over 100,000 downloads.

I've been lucky and surrounded by great people, but y'all if you're non technical, make the pledge to end that today. You can. I did. There's no downside.
