    Hi,

    I have 9 months of 'free time' before I start a masters in marketing, ultimately wish to go on and get into digital marketing.

    With my free time now I figured it would be an excellent chance to learn some code. Would anyone recommend anywhere (online preferably) that I could learn from that will help me with digital marketing? and what language would be the most useful?

    Thanks

    Any thoughts on CodeAcademy?

    I started using hackerank and I would recommend it. It gives you programming practical questions to attempt.

    Genuine question here but is that not more of a vanity tool (slash recruitment tool) for capable programmers?

    I also think Hackerank is a hiring site.

    Good places are codecademy.com, Udemy, Khanacademy.com, and you may well find stuff that's aimed at the complete newbie on CoderDojo's site, kata.coderdojo.com under learning resources.

    i have started with codeacademy.com and currently doing the 'interactive website' tutorial, so far, so good! I am finding Javascript/Query a little tricky though vs HTML/CSS
