Dataquest

Seriously, i tried other sites, and not any of them has this kind of learning experience. I am one of the biggest fan of Data Science, and i am a student. Before i decided to pursue a Data Science career, i have researched about all of the things related to Data Science. I've tried datacamp, edX, and many more. Do you know what is the best thing of Dataquest that any other program doesn't have? A path. This path really helps me a lot since i don't know where to start, where to go next, or something like that. I think in upcoming years there is gonna be a lot of successful data scientist because of Dataquest. For the job support, they have this great community that helps me a lot whenever i'm stuck.

This course is one of the best online courses I've ever taken. Not only does it teach the concepts behind data analytics, it delves deep enough into them to get anyone started on using them. The format in which the courses are structured, and the challenges and guided projects provided, really help to reinforce the tools and techniques given.

I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in data analytics, and I would even recommend the first few courses to anyone who is interested in learning to program in Python.

Dataquest is one of those rare services which delivers on every promise. I have learned more through this online set of courses than from any other program I've taken, including edX, Udemy, Coursera, and more. I wouldn't be in the situation in my life that I am at without the valuable knowledge derived from the fantastic Python instruction, incredible insight in to statistics, and also a large section aimed at Big Data, which is so valuable in the work force at the moment.

The Course is very structural. The explanation and the immediate practice is very helpful. Guided projects are very good and well explained. The support from the members is brilliant

Dataquest initiates you to Data Science in a perfectly structured fashion.
It presents an extremely well explained compilation of topics and areas of interest, which saves you a lot of time.
The exercises implemented for checking progress and the guided projects are also a strong point, as well as the certificates issued by the platform as one finishes the modules.
The interface works very well, is clean and efficient.
The price is reasonable for all that's offered.

I really like this program since is more like tutorials based vs video based as all the other online courses.
By having the ability to read thru the content and go back and forth, it becomes a great reference to tackle real problems by going back to your hands on examples.
I also think that a written source is easier for glancing thru the content if your are more experienced programmer vs going thru large videos you end up looking thru a whole video the content you want to review.
The support you have from the team is wonderful always committed on a great user experience.

Compared to other programs that rely on videos and longer exercises/projects, I like the way that exercises are interspersed through the content. There is a good amount of free content so you can see if the format works for you before getting in on the rest of the material - which is actually very affordable. The way dataquest is set up makes the experience very enjoyable.

Curious by nature I wanted to learn Data Scientist set of skills that can both aid in this natural tendency and potentially create hybrid career opportunities in the future. Going through formal education at this stage was not an option not only due to excessive price but also inflexibility of when and where (it is important if you have a day job!). So I have investigated and undertook a number of courses in MOOCS. However I found the courses there are often too general and fluffy, sometimes too narrow and vendor specific (e.g. some Microsoft courses are great but not setting overall context of the Data science) and/or frequently require the monetary outlay without ability to try (e.g. some Coursera and edX courses). In addition my learning style responds best to contextual learning....

Dataquest does a great job being 'the Codecademy' for the data industry. Easy and step by step explanation, definitely worth it's money. As a starting professional in the data industry, this is the place to start.

the concepts are very well explained, you have to code everything, that makes it easy to understand and work with the data science basics concepts, from the basics to the advanced

I first heard about DataQuest from a friend of mine. He was pretty impressed with the methodology of teaching. I initially started with the free courses and was really impressed with the course structure and "Code to Learn" attitude. This has really helped me gain in-depth exposure in the vast domain of Data Science.

Pros:
1) "Do to learn" attitude
2) Courses such as Numpy, Pandas and other libraries are perfectly introduced. Courses such as Machine Learning, Statistics and Natural language Processing helps students gain a good knowledge on how the real time scenarios work
3) Working on the real-time datasets is a boon. This approach is extremely helpful when we get to see new datasets and building predictive models
4) Challenges and Guided Projects are the core aspects where we ...

I have been looking for tools / courses to improve my Python skills and Data Science knowledge. Dataquest has been a very positive experience for me. It allows me to train on my own pace and through very practical and useful exercises.
I highly recommend Dataquest to anyone who wants to start with Data Science in Python.

Dataquest has a simple way to show you all principles of data analysis also all tools involved to make a great project.

The creators of this course definitely know the skills required to make use of data. I started learning python on my own before and I was doing pretty okay but then I found DataQuest and the structure of this course makes it much easier to find and learn the skills useful for working with, manipulating, extracting, cleaning and analysing data. I haven't used their help desk as yet so I can't make any comments regarding that. Also the commitment is low as it's $29US (basic) per month which if you don't like the course for some reason you can cancel at anytime. I haven't been signed up too long so this is all I will write, maybe I'll update my review later down the road but for now I would definitely recommend it for those now breaking into the field of data science.

I have been learning Python for about a year on and off as a way to get into Data Science (work in finance). I started with Code Academy because that was the one website I heard about the most at that time. Code Academy is great for learning Python as a beginner, but the one drawback if you want to be a Data Scientist, is that the lessons are not Data Science focused. I have also taken 2 Data Science courses with Python on Udemy by the same instructor. Again those courses were good, but what was lacking was the clear writing in the lessons, and the missions like DataQuest has. Finally, I also tried DataCamp, which is also pretty good, but what is lacking is that there are not as many Python lessons as there are R lessons. About 3 months ago I found DataQuest, because of a googl...

I normally do an annual personal assessment of my job to understand what I want to do and I was finding myself lost at my job and realize maybe it was time to move on to something new. So I start a searching ways to improve my skills. On top of that my daughter was born in Nov and leaving me will some big decision to make in term of career and salary. I read job description and job posting to see what was interesting. One job that caught my eyes was Data Scientist. I was interesting and the job growth was there. Then I see an ad for another Data Scientist program and looked at it. I was fairly interesting but the price and flexible was not. So I researched and stumble across Dataquest.io and tried it.

I tried for a work and got hooked. I love how you can practice and do challenge ...

This is by far one of the best data science resource for the beginners and to continue learning.

Pros:
* Best resource for getting started.
* Good technical and customer support.
* Active slack channel to connect with other users and ask questions.
* Covers all aspects of Data science using Python using Numpy, Pandas and Plotting libraries.

I'm a musician working on a career change. I had previously been studying programming on sites like Treehouse, Code School, Codecademy, Udemy. DataQuest is a great alternative for learning data science. The curriculum is structured so that you learn how a data scientist thinks and you're guided through the process of cleaning data to making visualizations and finding insights.

They've also been able to get me into some advanced topics such as database indexes, data structures and algorithms. The other e-learning websites I tried either didn't offer these advanced topics, or didn't explain them very effectively for someone at my level.

The premium subscription is very good value, you get access to a Slack channel that's very active and helpful.

I have two bachelors and a Master's degree related to physics and engineering. In my education, I studied in three US states and four EU countries. After seven years of post-high school education, I am tired of the traditional classroom setting: one professor lecturing at a group of students. I found it to be an ineffective and inefficient learning format that was too abstract and dated for real world applications.

Dataquest turns all of that on its head. Short and sweet: you learn by doing. The material is presented in a simple format so that anyone can learn, yet it powerfully equips you to deal with data.

Although I am not a data scientist, the things I learned are useful for anyone dealing with data. I wish that I had learned these things during my university studies. The ...

Teaching Method: new concept > examples > practice, practice

Projects and Challenges to solidify new skills, and tips on how to practice beyond that with datasets provided

Set of topics and the way they're organized

Python first! :)

Format: for me personally, interactive textbook format with console (similar to Codecademy) works best. When it comes to studying, video courses never did great job (maybe it's just me though).
