Dataquest

Dataquest's learning curriculum is very well thought out! Clearly, it's more about impacting students with the needed practical data science skills than making money as a business. They have rich and resourceful blog posts such as: "how to present your... Read More data science portfolio on Github", "how to get a data science job", and "17 places to find datasets for data science projects", among many other priceless posts. Also, their hands on projects make the website a one-stop learning platform!

Their approach is still effective even without videos. Everything is through reading. And that for me is a way to get all your attention to every bit of the content. Just within 2 weeks, I was super confident about the processes in data science!

The best way to confirm this review is at least by signing up for their one week trial!

Dataquest is the best website by far out on the internet that teaches python succinctly. They use an unconventional but the most straight forward approach of teaching i.e allowing learners to code from what they learn and make mistakes, they repeat this... Read More process again and again until the candidate feels assured about coding the most convoluted concepts. This boosts confidence and makes programming look much easier. I can only speak for myself and since I have discovered this website I did not have to look elsewhere, all that I want, all that I need is already on their website. They have a very hard working team, kudos to them!

I really love the interactive practices while learning programming (Python, R, etc.) and data analysis skills on Dataquest. Plus I can reinforce learning by finish the challenges and guided projects! I've also tried others platforms, but to be honest,... Read More Dataquest is the best, so that I've decided to go for a premium account. Little comments: I hope Dataquest can provide more courses on R.

I started several moocs for computer science and after finishing several, I decided to search for similar courses without videos. I found dataquest.io and I am very grateful for their services. I find the subjects of the courses well structured. I love... Read More the option to download the codes from the lessons. Certifications are a great bonus, and the pricing is superior to any moocs if you have the time to complete as many subjects as possible in a month. Some other great things about dataquest are the challenges that make use of jupyter notebook, projects that help you build experience and a portofolio, and last but not least, the slack community.

I started to get interested in data science and wanted to learn more. Searching around online eventually lead me to dataquest.io, and I'm glad it did. I started out with the initial free lessons before signing up for a paid membership because I liked... Read More what I saw. The program is structured in an organized way and introduces all the key concepts needed. I appreciate the interactive practice bits at the end of each lesson as they give a good opportunity to try out what I just learned.

The pricing is very reasonable and the support has been great so far. I haven't had any problems that would require contacting the dataquest team but was pleasantly surprised to find that they contacted me upon signing up offering advice and inviting me to share in the community. Little things like that really do make a big difference.

I still have a ways to go before I complete the data scientist learning path but I'm very much looking forward to it.

I have been using Dataquest to get up to start with programming in Python and an introduction to data science.

So far, my experience has been excellent. The interface is second to none. You do not need to install Python or anything in your computer. It... Read More is all hidden under the hood, and you will only interact with their very appealing website. Sessions (or 'missions' as they call it) are very well structured, and you can choose your own path, prioritising some areas and going back to others later on. They will issue certificates as you complete important blocks of the syllabus, and they make it very easy for you to upload those certificates to places such as LinkedIn.

Last but not least, their customer support has been excellent.

Dataquest is made of a small, committed group of people, and they deserve my full support.

Well done guys and I hope you go on from strength to strength.

I like dataquest because it is very comprehensive. People can be on different part of their journey as a data scientist and still benefit from it by choosing where they want to begin or just brush up on topics that were left unattended for a while. The... Read More hands-on exercises are quite useful in that they do not come after the whole course but step by step as each section is explained. As you know there are so many websites and sources about anything including data science and it is difficult to stay focused. I think it is good to have a learning source like data quest where you can jump right on the topic that you’re looking for.

Before attending Dataquest, I have taken many Data Analysis course using python and R. But, the best part of Dataquest is you do not require any prior knowledge of python. The course advance in such a way that, you develop python programming knowledge,... Read More and simultaneously how to approach data problems using what you have learned in exercise. It is true that you learn by doing, at Dataquest the course exercise is designed very well, which starts and ends with a file analysis, while learning and applying concept at same time. Dataquest is a great a platform to learn from scratch, but there are things which can make it a far more better. Some of them are, each course has concepts and there respective exercise for practice. Instructions to complete those exercise are very informative, that one do not have to use mind at all. If he is still unable to solve one can see solution there itself. I think this restrict problem solving skills, and one can remember a concept or solution well, if he finds it by great effort. For example, if he searches or post problem on community, he will learn more efficiently because he can get more optimal solution there from numerous members, and simultaneously he is developing his searching and interaction skills in community respectively, which is very significant in industry while tackling a problems of Data science.

Great online learning platform that marries theory and practice - I found that it was much easier to grasp the concepts taught here, the way that it's presented, compared to some other platforms that I've tried. Graphics are fluid and there do not seem... Read More to be any serious bugs.

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... Read More 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.
