New York-based Codecademy has launched three paid options running alongside its free coding courses, following quiet testing and discussions with users. The new courses are called Coding for the Real World, a series of tutorials that will teach students how to use Adobe Photoshop CS6 or other software tools in their day-to-day work. The options range from $20 per month to $500 per course, and have already brought in $6m in revenue, following the recent closure of two prominent coding bootcamps. The cheapest option is the ability to get a live person to answer questions by chat when a student gets stuck (that costs $20 per month). Codecademy claims it has registered 45 million free users.
