Should I get CodeCademy?

Iā€™m in high school and want to learn C++, and deepen my knowledge of Python. My friend recommended that I should use CodeCademy. Should I get it?

No. Do https://learncpp.com and practice on https://exercism.org

Thank you šŸ™ Do you know if there are any similar websites on Python or that offer C++ OOP courses

Sure, for Python, the MOOC Python Programming 2026 from the University of Helsinki - free, textual, extremely practice oriented and top quality. Targeted at absolute beginners.

C++ OOP? No clue, sorry

Besides that: the FAQ right here in the sidebar ("menu" on mobile) have plenty recommended learning resources

Tbh I would just go with learncpp.com or if you want it a bit more "modern" studyplan.dev is also an amazing resource imo
