How much does zuzu.codes cost?

The starter track is free — read all lessons and practice for free. Full access to every track (current and future) is $14.99/month. Cancel anytime.

How long does each track take?

Each track is designed as a 30-day challenge — one lesson per day, about 15 minutes each. Go at your own pace, but the structure is built around daily consistency.

What's the lesson format?

Each lesson is a student-teacher dialogue with code examples, followed by a hands-on code challenge in an in-browser editor. You read, you understand, then you write real code.

Do I need prior coding experience?

Our beginner track starts from absolute zero — no prior experience needed. Advanced tracks build on earlier ones, and the platform tells you exactly where to start.

How is zuzu.codes different from freeCodeCamp or Codecademy?

zuzu.codes uses a structured 30-day track format with dialogue-based teaching, an in-browser code editor, and gamification (XP, streaks, progress tracking). The format builds genuine understanding through daily practice.

Day 30 · ~11 min●

Thirty days ago you rated yourself on six skills. Today you rate yourself again — same questions, same scale. Then you compare.

I actually built a report function. I ran it. Real output showed up in the console.

That function pulled in every pattern you learned — f-strings, loops, dict accumulators, sorted, join. Thirty days of small wins composed into one working program. Rate yourself on what you can actually do now, not what you wish you could do.

Let me see the delta.

Same six rows. Answer honestly. The chart shows Day 1 and today side by side — and that gap is yours to keep forever.

What you built

30 days, 20 code lessons, 1 real tracker.

From first print to full report

Week 1 — f-strings, arithmetic, dict literals, .get()
Week 2 — if/elif/else, for loops, try/except, accumulator + counter
Week 3 — max, filter, sorted(key=), dict accumulator, sum()/len()
Week 4 — comprehension transforms, composition, capstone report

What the chart shows

Column	Meaning
Left bar	Day 1 self-rating
Right bar	Today's rating
Gap	Real, measurable growth

Ahead: python-for-explorers starts where this track ends. The first thing you meet there is a comprehension — a loop written in one line.

1.Now I can store a value in a variable and use it in calculations and function returns.

2.Now I can write a function that takes inputs, makes decisions, and returns a result.

3.Now I can write a loop that processes every item in a list and accumulates a result.

4.Now I can build a dictionary from a list and retrieve values by key safely.

5.Now I can parse structured string data into Python dicts ready for processing.

6.Now I can use try/except to handle errors without crashing my program.
