Dataquest

The program offers simplified and elaborative material that is easy for starters. The assignments are interactive and give learners real time results of their submissions. The learners are allowed several attempts to get the answers right which gives... Read More them concrete understanding of the concepts.

I recently got an email from the Dataquest Team letting me know of a promotional offer for a free tutorial on SQL. I am a python/pandas expert user but had somehow never been exposed to SQL. After realizing that many Data Science/ML job opportunities... Read More require knowledge of SQL, I decided to take advantage of this offer from Dataquest. This week, I completed the course: Fundamentals of SQL -- Learning the basics. The course was excellent and let me make quick progress. I realized that although this was only a start, I am no longer intimidated by SQL.

This dataquest is the best platform for the beginers who does not have any basic background knowledge and also it provides all concepts from beginning onwards the only thing is we have to practice it then only we can gain the concept and also theory provided... Read More by dataquest is very nice

After completing the Fundamentals of SQL course and currently working on the Intermediate SQL for Data Analysis, I can say I am more than pleased with the Dataquest methodology. I like pretty much everything, for example the way concepts are introduced... Read More within context and explained really well. However, the most value I see in ther methodology is learning via coding. Something which discouraged me in other online courses was the watching video approach which doesn't require students to do much coding. I wasn't getting much value from that methodology and, in fact I was increasingly getting dismotivated. This changed when I found Dataquest. Having the computer window divided (lesson to the left, coding to the right) means that after each lesson, a coding task is required. I absolutely believe this to be the best way to learn anything, from SQL to R or Python. Last but not least, they encourage you to access documentation from links within lessons, which is very much appreciated. It is a good thing I found Dataquest in my Data Science Journey and am looking forward to more SQL courses with them. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED !!

Dataquest creates an active experience for learners. Instead of passive, lecture-based learning, they use technology to improve online learning by engaging students with hands-on, project-based approaches that build community and improve learner engagement.... Read More Few people learn well in isolation, with most learning more effectively through social interaction with others. One of the major affordances of technology and which Dataquest is using is connecting people across different schedules, time zones, and devices. Ultimately, learners begin an experience with a purpose or goal in mind. It creates opportunities for learners to develop artifacts of the learning that are grounded in the real world experience It also boosts engagement by establishing clear connections to those goals and links to authentic applications.

After trying a bunch of free online resources to learn python, a colleague recommended Dataquest. So far it has been a great learning platform for me, and I have found I was able to apply the skills to my day job right away. I regularly work with large... Read More data sets in csv's, and Dataquest jumped straight into techniques to work with these. Also, I like the yearly membership vs paying per course, as I feel no pressure to rush through the material.

I am enjoying the lessons because with example exercise are given to write codes. When you make mistake run query allows to correct it and understand what you have missed and correct. This register in the mind and understanding how syntax structure should... Read More be. I am learning way more than any other learning platform because of this hands on experience to write the code. I am looking forward to get to my first project to challenge myself. I would highly recommend Dataquest for learning experience with targeted lessons. Languages are very vast and becoming a good developer comes with practice and experience. Good luck in your learning experience.

I'm taking the course and I love it! You learn and practice synchronously. It's very well explained, clear, and easy. I had no previous experience coding and I'm getting the hang of it pretty quick. Plenty examples. Gradual steps. And a practice assignment... Read More at the end of each section.

I love how the program is setup, they have theory on the left side of the screen and the right side is for practicing code that you’ve learn. Another that I like are the projects. They use real-world data in there projects which makes it more appealing... Read More when putting it on your personal portfolio.
