Whats the best interactive javascript learning platform?
Im kind of a nerd for RPGs and found out they have game based courses for learning javascript. Has anyone tried codex, codecombat, or boot.dev? Was initially considering coursera but these look way more fun.

I've recommend this a bajillion times now, but https://javascript30.com/ is really great for getting in the habit of building projects and understanding the thinking that goes into good development. Not just in a vacuum, but in a set of real projects

No course.
Once you understand a few fundamentals (variables, loops, etc), use them. Go and hack something small together and don't worry about how ugly the code is. Wrestle with the problems you run into - it will be challenging, but you learn the most from these struggles. Google for help on specific problems, use AIs, but only after you've fought with it yourself for a while. Too many people get stuck doing one tutorial after another, thinking they're learning tons, but don't know how to actually apply any of it.
Not to say tutorials are useless, but treat them as secondary. And move away from them if you find they aren't helping much. You control your learning.
It doesn't really answer your actual question, maybe someone who's knowledgeable about those specific tutorials can tell you pros and cons. But just make sure you're not treating tutorials as the primary way to learn, just like how you don't learn to ride a bike by attending lectures.

makes sense bc even tho coursera is good its kinda like homework with a progress bar. boot.dev is gamified but also makes you practice

Those interactive learning platforms only get you so far.
The link I provided could keep you busy for years.
