Codecademy programming school received $ 2.5 million

Codecademy has completed a $ 2.5 million transaction on Codecademy.add (investors) . By the way, one of the new properties of the object is Yuri Milner.



Recall that a unique start-up Codecademy teaches JavaScript beginners using free interactive exercises. It opened two months ago: in the first 72 hours of work, the site was visited by 200 thousand novice programmers, who completed 2.1 million lessons.



After receiving such a significant amount of investment, Codecademy can work for a long time for free (in the future they are still planning to come up with some kind of business model), and can also hire content organizers and increase the number of lessons on the site. New content will be added by the community on the model of UGC. For example, recently launched the first such course "Functions in JavaScript" , written by Albert Wenger .
