"Best course in Online"

A long time ago I tried to learn python. I went to my person, please taught me. But everybody said you have to pay. Then I said it's ok, no problem. I would pay. They taught me but I did not learn python only because of their course structure and teaching... Read More

"Educative"

I started looking for online lessons on data science but found many. I got hundreds of videos, watching and listening to them but couldn't get the understanding. My first time with Dataquest was very understanding and easy to grasp the lessons. I encourage... Read More

I started a month ago trying different bootcamps but I really liked the way you can learn with Dataquest. It is always learning by doing and you do not have to wait to see hundreds of videos, only reading brief lessons that are very well explained. Even... Read More

"Decent curriculum, slow platform"

The curriculum is reasonable and the exercise format is good. But the code running platform is rather slow. If you are trying to use the virtual machine on line, you at least will have a lot of ample time to get water breaks. Most exercises could be easily... Read More

"Sloppy"

No one should study with Dataquest thinking it will help land them a job or anything like that: I'm confused why it says 5 stars for "Job Support." There is literally *ZERO* job support and those reviews should be thrown out because there's no confusion... Read More

I'm reviewing today as a current student who's completed the Python lessons for Data Science, muddled through the Command Line lessons, and moved on to the SQL. The Command Line lessons are where Dataquest admittedly falls apart. I even spoke to their customer service and they're in complete agreement the whole content should be redone... It's utter garbage, yet super important to understand.

Next, moving into SQL, much of the sloppiness has persisted. They make so many careless errors that show they really just don't gave a ______.

That being said, it's cheap and a nice way to get an early intro to these topics. You just get what you pay for.
I think it's annoying switchup says it's the best around--if that's the case, I assume the other options are awful.

"Waste of time and money"

If you're learning something new, you obviously don't know what you don't know.
After finishing the DataQuest platform, I thought I would be ready to start a new job in a new industry. Wrong.

This site is ONLY useful if you are already an analyst or statistician... Read More

If you don't have a degree in a quantitative field, or industry experience in analytics, DO NOT waste your time with this platform. It will not teach you the skills you need to be successful. It barely even works as described.

"Very slow platform - not worth paying even though the content is fine"

I tried to use their platform to learn something when I received a free month on their 5th birthday. Even the content might be considered as a good start, it takes forever to run anything on their platform. Very basic script with few lines take around... Read More

It's more difficult than Datacamp and therefore might be more effective in learning, but, taking into account Datacamp's variety of courses, platform smoothness and price, I won't subscribe to Dataquest.

A good advice is to replay Datacamp's excercises on some other case study or dataset.
