DataCamp

Prior to trying DataCamp, I had tried various other courses including Lynda.com, Google, and YouTube. All of them assume a strong background in some other coding language or no experience with computers at all. DataCamp had the perfect pacing which allowed... Read More a beginner like me to pick up the basics of Python very quickly. I ended up subscribing to an annual membership afterwards and have enjoyed everything since then as well.

My only criticism of DataCamp, and any web-based environment, is that a lot of the practice of staging data and writing the preparatory code is lost when everything is so focused on the individual exercises.

I love the user experience of the course, which offers and interactive web-based coding platform and relieves me (as a beginner) the burden of installing all the related packages and software (though eventually necessary, it would be intimidating and... Read More create a barrier for some newbies ). The user interface is also very bright and clear. This altogether gave me an awesome feeling exploring the new programming language.
Similar to other Datacamp courses, it all used real-life (or at least imitations) data sets makes studying and conclusion extremely applicable and relevant to jobs and daily issues. This gives way for me, as a student, to think of similar or creative solutions to my own analytical problems in jobs.

DataCamp is a low stress, self-paced collection of short courses. That allows the student to enter the study of programming at a level they feel comfortable with and from there branch out in any direction that they find compelling. I come back to the...

Data Camp is a online, per month for yearly service, that provides experiential education for R, Python, Stats, GitHub, IDEs, and shell commands for data science. On the down side, there is no professor to talk to or build a relationship with for recommendations... Read More and mentorship (yet.) On the positive side:

1) Data camp is cheap
2) Datacamp is used by EdX for some of their certification programs
3) Datacamp has a community of new users, power users, educators, and instructors who are willing to answer all sorts of questions. They even have a podcast that breaks down concepts to a very easy to comprehend level.
4) Real world data sets and projects to implement knowledge right away

In the year I have used Datacamp, I've taking classes in R, Python, and statistics. In a very short time, I feel competent to have serious conversations about statistics and data science in my office, at meet ups, and online.

I was given a one-month free trial to datacamp. Within that one month, I finished basic courses in data sciences - python and R. As I updated my LinkedIn with those skills, I was offered a data science consultant role in a major bank. I never imagined... Read More that my transition to data sciences would be that quick. I immediately took an annual membership with datacamp, and continuously update my skills in areas of machine learning, deep learning. Thanks, Datacamp!

I began with a one month subscription to determine whether my expectations would be met. And yes, DataCamp has been able able to exceedingly meet my expectations. I really love the courses and won't hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in deepening... Read More their data science knowledge and skill-sets.

DataCamp mixes high-quality content created by some of the brightest stars of Data Science in R (not only academics and professionals from companies such as StackOverflow, but also the creators of some of the most widely used R packages) with a Gamified... Read More user experience (with the use of streaks, learning paths, daily tasks and the potential to achieve much, much more in this field) that helped me to keep myself motivated.

DataCamp provides students with an incremental, sequential and coherent learning pathway across the Data Science landscape.
Students are tired of Data Science programmes whose modules are taught as if the students were studying for degrees in Statistics,... Read More Maths and Computer Science.
DataCamps' modules however, contextualize the material in terms of what it means for Data Science. This is best exemplified by the DataCamp projects with draw
on and test the students knowledge across modules in terms of applied data sets and business questions. The ability to revisit and reinforce diverse material on their
own time is key for students to have a personalized learning experience. Also the DataCamp community forum is a great place for knowledge sharing.
