Greetings,
I recently joined the 'Relational DB Cert." and (of course) have used the CodeAlly for the lessons. After working with it for a week now, IMHO it may not be worth my time and effort.
I have logged in daily and each time come up against issues.
- First I found it may be best to flush my cookies and cache before each time I log in.
- I found that completing lesson segments can be very slow and is also filled with its own issues. The completion notices do not refresh or get stuck. At times, I have gone backward several steps to redo steps to get it to work. I have even logged out and in to reset it. I even use the ‘reset’ button on the bottom middle of the code window several times and that does not always work.
- I have noticed that the virtual Git server on the left sometimes gets filled with over 2,000 files of odd .json and extra files. When I delete the files I get forboding error messages. When I try to add and commit the changes to not display them that has its own issues. 2,000 files takes a while to commit…
- There are times when I do not see any ‘CodeRoad’ text and need to start over…
- And finally this time, my current work disappeared, Disappointing…
- I have used several computers to log on and found that both have the same issues.
A simple lesson that should be seconds turns into 30 minutes. Refresh, log in and out, flush cache, etc.
I thank you for your time,
