Exercism vs Datacamp: Small things make a big difference
Online certifications, training courses, or other learning resources can be a mixed bag. It’s unclear how much employers value them, and it can also feel overwhelming trying to retain all of the information presented. When I was doing datacamp after my day job each day, I often felt like I was trying to get to the finish line as quickly as possible, rather than actually focusing on the process of learning. After three years of doing coding practice/learning on the side, I have been reflecting on why I learned so much more with exercism than datacamp.
