Dataquest

Good responding.
Good representation of exercises.
Easy to learn.
Will not feel bored

Pros:
-No video tutorials (I get bored of watching or listening to people over multiple lessons);
-Go at your own pace with written lessons that you can navigate easily;
-Helpful explanations and the console is pre-loaded into the same window as the explanations/instructions;
-Helpful hints when I am stuck on the exercises;
-I like that as I finish modules it keeps track of my progress (i.e. "You are 50% finished with the beginner module and 18% done with the whole course);
-The UI is beautiful and easy to navigate;
-Tracks the amount of time I study per month;
-I can download the lesson & exercises in a handy PDF in case I want to review it later

Cons
-Sometimes the hints are confusing and there's only ONE hint per exercise (I think certain exercises should have more hints...

This is a great platform to learn. I like the concept of challenge and practice that course offers; I also like the fact that the course includes that I obtain outcomes that I can then upload to my portfolio to showcase what I've learned and what I'm capable of; I like the way it shows you the progress you're making and goals and achievements for the week; the support they offer is really good: not too many emails, but enough to keep you hooked with the progress. They also respond emails (sounds basic but today many customer service services are poor, and dataquest is excellent in this regard). The only thing that is slightly bugging is the way you can click on "Next" and go forward with the exercises without having completed them as sometimes you'll see answers to previous problems. Bu...

I am very pleased with the dataquest platform.
I have tried some other "big data" online training programs and most of them are based on video lectures followed by multiple choices questions. The format adapted by dataquest is very good : some lecture first, directly followed by some exercise to experiment what we just learnt. When you're stuck you can get a hint or even see the answer.
Dependung on the plan you choose, you can also access guided projects which involves a set of the knowledg gained in the current and previous chapters.
I would recommend dataquest any time and I actually already recommended dataquest to a friend of mine who started his training last week, he is also happy with it.

I tried many online tutorials before Data quest I frankly feel that Data science is something that cannot be mastered without actually getting hands dirty on projects.
Just theory is not enough and hence I like the Data quest feature of doing projects along with theory. This is a good website for beginners.

Dataquest has a really awesome learning platform. Whether you are a beginner to programming and the other aspects of data science they will take you from zero to 100 with such ease and a gentle pace at each step. I looked at several options before deciding on dataquest but when I tried their platform I was amazed at how well thought out things were. Plus I could do the sessions including the programming right in my browser which meant I could do tutorials in my down time on my iPad or my phone and not have to wait to get to my computer to do the practice code. I have not completed my program as yet but I’m excited and looking forward to my achievements. If you haven’t tried them I’m not certain what you are waiting for (Just want to say that this isn’t a paid review. I just think that t...

I've wasted a lot of time and money on online video courses and tutorials on blogs, articles etc. I noticed that the information wasn't really sticking and I wasn't really learning and I wasn't confident in my skills. After coming across a video on YouTube about how to get into Data Analysis from someone at DataQuest, and how they can help, I visited their website and took their free Python For Data Analysis course and enjoyed it, and noticed the unique approach. I decided to continue learning with them and took out a premium membership. To date, I've learned a lot and I'm confident in my skills. I would recommend DataQuest to anyone serious about getting into Data Analysis. They have a supportive community to help and it's a great investment.

Recently I have decided that I want to expand my knowledge of programming, especially with python, so I started searching the internet for a good course.
I did a few video courses, and did some reading of python websites, but it just didn't feel so effective...
I kept searching untill I came across dataquest.io, and decided to give it a try.
It should be noted that this site is not a "declared" python learning site, but rather a data analyst \ scientist \ engineer learning site, but nevertheless, it does a really good job teaching python.
The main advantage here is the "hands-on" approach. You just can't learn how to program by watching videos or reading, you must do it with your own hands!
So on this site, you read an explanation and then you write the code yourself and get a feed...

I initially logged into DataQuest.io as a way to experience working with Python instead of R. While not normally a fan of online courses, I quickly found myself pulled in. The content is well organized and relevant to my work. Within a couple days I found myself able to write fairly complex ETL scripts using the knowledge I learned at Dataquest as the foundation. When the free content ran out I happily subscribed. I look forward to logging into Dataquest every day!

Pros:
Content is relevant and well organized.
Great support/chat platform
New content being released all the time
Project based approach helps with the learning process.

Cons:
Small community on the forums.

I have done one or two online courses in platforms like Coursera. Its my first time with Dataquest, and I really enjoy the no videos and just pure coding experience. It improves your coding speed by writing small programs one after the other while learning something new with each exercise.

I come from marketing/advertising background and I want to switch to data analysis. I easily get bored of traditional video-based courses and was looking for something more interactive. I first tried free version of Dataquest and after a few days I realized that I am willing to pay because this is the course I really want to continue. I really like that for each new peace of information I get the chance to write my own code and get it checked right away. This makes the experience very engaging. I also enjoy hearing this nice sound each time my code runs ok :) This together with real-time updates on the dashboard showing my progress in percentage of overall program are very motivational.

I also enjoy being a part of their slack community where any student can ask for help from fellow...

I'm currently enrolled in Dataquest's Data Analyst path. I've tried (but didn't complete) Udacity's Data Analyst path as well as a few Udemy courses.

In Udacity, curricula and teachers vary from module to module, so it felt more like switching classes in college. I think this can be a very good thing, but it can be more difficult to build on what you learn in previous modules. Dataquest, on the other hand, is like having one professor until you graduate; she sticks to a certain teaching style and every lesson builds upon the last. I think this helps you sharpen essential skills more quickly. It may not provide as much breadth as Udacity's approach, but you can get this from side projects and independent study (which I highly recommend doing anyway). Another thing to keep in min...

I tried Codecademy and DataCamp before fully committing to DataQuest. Here's why:

1. Codecademy is ok but limited in scope, and they were using Python 2.x, while all my other tutorials, etc., are in Python 3.x. As a complete beginner to coding, I really didn't have enough fluency to be able to understand whether the difference were significant or not, so I didn't feel that I needed one more hurdle to figure out.
2. DataCamp is quite good. i have no doubt that the success I'm having in DataQuest is partially due to the comfort level with basic Python I achieved in DataCamp, so due credit there.
However, DataCamp has two main drawback, as I see them:
A. They mainly use a video lecture method of content delivery. This is not an absolute down, as it really depends on the prefer...

Since I decided to change my career heading to be a data scientist, I realized how important is having a constant learning routine. Therefore, at least once a week I spend some hours getting new knowledge. Among several platforms that I have been using lately, Dataquest is one of the best. The way topics are organized through amazing "missions" helps a lot the way I learn. Everything is well planned and it is wonderful how I notice my progress. Not to mention the very thoughtful support!
I really recommend Dataquest!

I have been using DataQuest for only a couple of months and, in that time, it has been nothing short of wonderful. I am on the Data Scientist path and learning with Python. Here is why the program is amazing:

- The missions are streamlined and not bogged down in too much unnecessary information. It is to the point for the mission at hand. There is never any fear of turning away out of boredom because you are moving effortlessly and efficiently from mission to mission, learning and absorbing so much along the way.
- The missions use real-life data. It is like you are already a data scientist, in a way, just by working through the missions. And by using the real-life data, you are able to understand how and why Python works so well in analyzing the data. One might be turned off...

Before I know dataquest, I learned to code via videos online or books.But they are just not efficient ways for me to learn so I searched for interactive website.I don't know if Dataquest is the best website for people who wanna be good at data sicence,but I can tell it suits me most so far.Beautiful interface , powerful teaching theory with deliberate practice and there are many data scientist will reply your question as long as you send them a message.I am still keeping going on dataquest and I am real user from China.I think it's wonderful so I recommend it for all of you who wanna join in data science but has no idea how to begin.At last I wanna thank the team who built dataquest, you are must really wise people.

Pros:
- Good introduction to beginners, does not go too in depth into each topic, just enough for further self study.
- Links to documentation are convenient.
- Explanation is layman, convenient to go back and re-read compared to video lessons
- Interface is user friendly. Split-screen learn and do allows application immediately
- Concepts are broken into small chunks and linked
- Free content is plenty.
- Slack community is rich with discussion, better than getting ignored on stackoverflow
- Self-paced

Cons:
- Programming in browser will not generate as much warnings as in local environment using Jupyter notebook, thus not maximizing learning
- Forums for free missions have limited answers to questions
- Usually only 1 way of doing things/ 1 library function introduce...

I have tried lots and lots of MOOCs in the fields of data science and machine learning. Guys trust me. If you really want to learn the domain, go for dataquest.io! Most of the courses are scratching the surface only by discussing high-level theory. Even if there is a code shown, you won't get the practice and confidence in coding (scripting). Other courses are focusing on tools and coding without diving deep into the theory.
Dataquest is the only comprehensive offering I am aware of. And what makes it so outstanding? Simple:
1. It is extremely well structured. Your knowledge will be built up step by step using learning by doing approach. Both your technical skills and theoretical knowledge will evolve hand in hand.
2. It goes under the hood. You will really understand the details, y...

DataQuest is the best platform I have come across for learning data science. The biggest selling point for me was the wide range of topics available, as evidenced by the three paths available: data scientist, data scientist, engineer and analyst. This means you will not need to scour the web to puzzle together a collection of resources to teach you what you need to know: it's all just there.

The platform is a joy to use, and I have not encountered any major bugs whatsoever. It is also constantly updated, and very intuitive to use. For those of you on the fence, give it a try. With this platform, the only obstacle to mastering data science is how much time you have to learn it!

Pros
Best bang for your buck. Each course offers a certificate along with the overall course path: data engineer, data analyst, and data scientist.

Gives a course on how to use Kaggle with background in the mathematics of data science.

All the courses are in text, so doing it at work without headphones is very convenient.

The help during learning how to code is not penalized and positive reinforcement is given throughout the learning path.

Cons
Some errors in the code, but very small. Also there are some projects that do not have solutions.

This might matter to some, but, I found it as a pro, no videos.

Job Support
They have a job support for the highest form of membership. I gave them 3 starts, since I did not attend the highest form of membership but the premi...
