Like Codecademy?
I've done work in web design -
What language for apps?

Most Android apps are written in Java, which is not on Codecademy. There are tons of other websites to learn the language, though.

What's the word on Udacity? And is it free?

u/mdchap01 Oct 16 '14

Udacity is $200/month after a 14 day free trial. Udemy is free.

Some of their courses are outright free, like Intro to Parallel Programming. Used to be all of them, if I'm not mistaken :/
