Ben Tossell · Codecademy Blog Free Beginner

Tossell built Makerpad, the best known no-code education community (later acquired by Zapier), so his orientation to the landscape is worth your time. He advises trying a few small projects across different tools to feel their limits before committing, which is exactly the right way to choose your stack.

• Do a few small projects to learn each tool's real limits firsthand.
• Whatever your idea, there is usually a no-code way to test it.
• Pick tools by how they fit together and how they feel to build with.
