JetBrains Academy: 2020 Annual Highlights
2020 is over, and in this post we’d like to take a look at what JetBrains Academy accomplished last year. The number of learners choosing our platform continues to grow, as does JetBrains Academy itself.
The beginning of 2020 saw a momentous occasion in the history of JetBrains Academy. We added the Python track to the already existing Java and Kotlin tracks. Today, more than 116,000 users are learning Python with us!
The rest of the year was as exciting as the beginning. In June, we took a big step forward and transitioned from 16 months of the Early Access Program to a monthly subscription model. All your support and the feedback we received encouraged us to take another big step and introduce an annual subscription at the end of the year! Now our learners can take advantage of an annual subscription for $249.00, which is equivalent to the price of only 5 months of the standard $49.90/month subscription.
If you have not registered at JetBrains Academy yet, the beginning of 2021 might be a good time to do so! Get started today with a free 7-day trial that can be extended by up to 2 months without any payment information.
We know how important it is to stay curious and engaged in the process of learning new things. That’s why we’ve worked hard to create interesting and useful content throughout the year. Over the course of 2020 we added 37 projects and over 300 new topics!
