Educative
Tap a star to rate
Educative bet on text over video early, arguing that reading code and explanation at your own pace, with an embedded code editor to try things immediately, beats sitting through a lecture for a lot of technical topics. That bet paid off especially well in the technical interview prep niche, where its system design and coding interview courses are widely recommended.
The format suits someone who reads faster than they can watch video and wants to jump around a course non-linearly, referencing it like documentation rather than following start to finish. It fits a working or job-hunting developer preparing for technical interviews or learning a specific backend or systems topic, more than a total beginner who might benefit from Codecademy's more guided, exercise-heavy structure.
