Dataquest

Dataquest is amazing, the reason why I love it, is because it forces you to learn by doing. I get bored easily from the video courses // lessons out there, also I'm busy with my job, and my life, so watching videos at 1.50x speed is not ideal. In Dataquest you can easily, open your computer in a free time you have, read the lesson, and give it a try, debug your errors, and keep learning.

From my experience of Dataquest, I have found that the website is a good platform to learn and develop your skills in data science or in programming python(as I have learnt python through it). Dataquest has good exercises and also systematic approach to learn the topics and their application.

I tried few other online classes on Udemy. All use videos that give you feeling of progress with less focus on application.
DataQuest education experience, from the interface to the various interesting datasets from Kaggle and FiveThirtyEIght (Used cars price to Gun Deaths in US) very relevant to real world experience and situation.
Few days ago I attended an Event in Quid.com. I understood like 70% of hardcore data scientists explaining to similar crowd.
I knew DataQuest is relevant, because of my engineering background, but couldn't believe it that much.
My Recommendations: If you want a real-world data science education , in a very caring way and fun. Don't hesitate to start the free trial on DataQuest and See for yourself!

I have like 3 months and I like the practical way for learning they have, using in all of the lessons real world cases that help you gasp better the concept.
Also like the structure of the lesson and you have also a console to test immediately what you are learning. I recommend a Lot.

Dataquest coursework gave me the tools and confidence to pursue data science as a career. I would recommend the "Data Scientist in Python" track to anyone who wants to keep current on their data skills.

Its the most straight forward education that builds your knowledge incrementally. The explanation for new terms is very simplistic and has great diagrams to actually show the flow of logic rather then accepting it as unknowable truth behind coding. Also the team is enthusiastic to help you solve problems or even answer questions not in the curriculum.

Extremely well-designed tutorials with interactive coding exercises help me understand and master all the complex knowledge super fast.
And the team of Dataquest is really nice. They will regularly reach out to you asking your experience and patiently answering all your questions.
I definitely will recommend Dataquest to my friends.

They have managed to make it really fun to learn data science with the curriculum so well structured and broken down

I started with dataquest for free, doing some of the Python course, and though I already knew some Python I felt they were approaching it in a helpful way that helped to cement what I had learned. Then I realized they had paid courses at a fraction of the cost it would take to do a lot of bootcamps. I signed up for Data Engineering and have made it through the Postgresql section so far. It has been really good. Instead of videos, you read about syntax you will be using and then practice it. Sometimes you have to look up reference material which I also do with other MOOCs. But what's nice is they build skill up on skill in a way that makes total sense, and in a way that gives the opportunity to use the things you just learned a few more times. This is very good for remembering how things...

I have been doing software development for a number of years. However, I am new to Python and totally enjoyed learning on Dataquest as part of my Data Scientist course. Now I am working on more exciting modules such as numpy and pandas. Very exciting stuff and I highly recommend it.

A big advantage of this platform is that it doesn't have videos of people who most of the time don't really help me in my tasks.
Each mission has a detailed informative tutorial with the theoretical background, and it finishes with a practical exercise that sometimes goes a little beyond what was described before. But this is nothing more than a push to make me think harder about the problem at hand.
The community is also a big pro as people are always trying to help sorting my difficulties, in addition to the Dataquest team, of course.
The data sets are good as they include real case studies, that I could be using at work for instance.
A negative aspect that I find is that sometimes the introduction for the practical exercise is not explicit and I don't really understand the final...

In one word, AWESOME! In two words, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! In three words, NEVER REGRET IT!!!

1. Easy to follow course materials even for non-programming background person like me. Literally I have 0 knowledge on programming or coding and always find it hard to start somewhere. However, by following the courses in DataQuest, I have improved significantly from a newbie to being able to do coding in Python. I am amazed on how well-structured the courses are.
2. Supportive community. The community behind DataQuest is very friendly and responsive to any enquiries. You can either choose to chat online or drop them an email and they will personally reply almost all of the emails.
3. Relevant real world dataset. The concepts learnt are applied to real world dataset to have a hands- on exper...

Pros:
I tried few python online courses but what has been wonderful about Dataquest :
1) It is more focused about its content. It takes really good amount of time to explain the datasets.
2) minimum code or no line of code in editor helps to think and write code independently.
3) tracks the time has been spend.
4) No videos saves lot of time while learning.
Cons:
1) If Dataquest creates electives/ specialisations on more advanced topics that will be great help.

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.
