I was wondering if there's any resources similar to that of Code academy but for learning C/AL.

I can find text resources fine but was looking for something a bit more hands on.

    Mibuso , and of course MSDN are , IMHO, the online references in order to learn C/AL . Of course looking and Codeunits and Reports in Demo Environments could be useful in order to learn the design pattern and objects involved.

    The best option to learn C/AL is to participate in real projects with a team of other developers who can guide you sometimes. Also, you can consider an option of purchasing a book (e.g., www.amazon.com/.../B00BKXQU82;tag=kpembed-20&linkCode=kpe). Follow blogposts of community members to learn nice tricks.

    I think you should start with downloading demo dynamics NAV database and playing with the coding. Default license allow you to modify selected tables in the demo database. If you are working with a Dynamics NAV partner you will have the access to partnersource which have Dynamics NAV C/AL development books which wil guide you through the development. Other method is use the MSDN as the base library, which cover almost all the areas in the C/AL development.

    Packtpub also have really god NAV related books and you may take a look at that as well : https://www.packtpub.com/all?search=Dynamics+NAV&offset=&rows=&sort=

    However saying that best learning method will be involve in a live project by doing small customization.
