By Henry Kronk, eLearning Inside

Codeacademy—the world’s largest online ‘learn to code’ institution—just released a survey conducted with some of the over 45 million learners who have passed through their digital halls. Some of their results confirm suspicions; others are more surprising.  To begin, 40% of respondents said they wanted to switch career paths and become a programmer/software developer. One quarter of respondents cited the potential of working remotely as a major draw to learning to code. Women were about 25% more likely to seek out an educating in coding for the same reason. Urban users, furthermore, were also more likely to pursue coding for remote work compared to their suburban counterparts.
