Dataquest

Dataquest is extremely helpful when it comes to data science online courses. I have spent over a month with two free courses (Python Fundamentals and Intermediate) and just subscribed for Basic pack. I am from Vietnam, $29 is to be honest a bit too much,... Read More but I think it's worth. The platform is easy to use, clean and no videos. I can study with my own pace. Each lessons have exercises that you can practice immediately. After finish a lesson, you can download a memo for what you have learned. Very helpful. Each course has guided project. It's extremely good.

I started two months ago to work on Dataquest on the Data Analyst path with Python! I couldn't believe that I was so lucky to accidentally find out a site that covers all of my needs about Data Analysis! This month I decided to start my basic plan on... Read More Data analysis and I am really happy to learn so many new and interesting things! I like the structure of the platform very much and the opportunity to improve my skills through implementation and real-life cases. The only thing that I am sure about Dataquest is that I am going to use it for a long time because it helps me a lot and it is a nice way to continue my education after my master's studies!

I have been learning with dataquest since April, and have learned so much ever since! In the era of IT, with a background in psychology and a wish for career change, dataquest kind of just stepped in at the right moment. I got the scholarship and poof!... Read More Few months later, I am now fluent in python, doing my master's thesis with machine learning and even got a job that involves working with python! I've seen many other resources, and none has drawn my attention. Dataquest, however, manages to keep me motivated to learn for months! I would highly recommend dataquest to anyone who wants a career in Data analysis, Data Science, or is just curious about doing their own Machine learning projects. Everything is very well structured and explained, and on the top of everything, there are many guided projects which stimulate "learning by doing". Dataquest also teaches you how to compete on kaggle, regularly publishes many helpful articles ... there is just so much good content on the platform.

This has to be one of the best experiences learning I've ever had. And the team is always willing to help and reply to any of my messages even before becoming a premium member. They take you step by step and make sure you really understand everything... Read More that's going on. I simply LOVE it.

I have been pursuing the Data Analyst Path in Python offered by the Dataquest Portal and the characteristics of the exercises are adequate to gain a flavour of what is like to use Python, I find the explanations clear and I am about to finish my first... Read More guided project.
Unfortunately I am wrting my masters dissertation at the same time. Therefore, I am not able to devote as much time as I wanted to.

I really like Dataquest approach of explaining why some things are done a certain way, so when you are applying everything it makes sense in your head, and you know exactly what to do.
I enjoy that per every course that makes up a career path there is... Read More a project at the end, which is very practical and let's you interact with real life tools.

Dataquest's platform is the best to learn to code especially for beginners, the learning platform is quite interactive, you get to start carrying out projects with the syntax you're learning almost immediately and I believe this is one of the best ways... Read More to teach programming.

I can't think of any cons for now. I also appreciate their new financial aid program for low income communities.

Dataquest, and the curriculum they offer, is by far and away the best experience I have had in learning Python as it pertains to data science. Prior to Dataquest, I had tried a few other online training options and they were either too easy/simplistic,... Read More or not really focused on data science. The training with Dataquest is DEEP. I have been taking the training nearly every day for the last 3 months or so and am still only 20% complete. You are truly getting your money's worth.
I also appreciate the way the training is set up to be very cumulative. Ideas and skills are not just shown. Every piece of information is a brick. Every brick is mortared together with examples. These become rooms of knowledge, but are not silos. Everything is tied together. It's extremely impressive.
