Hackwagon has made most of the hardest part of starting to learn programming easy and clear to understand. From their usage of well made notebooks and labs, it is easy to learn the code and see it in action when running it immediately next to their clear... Read More explanations and examples. Instructors were also very helpful and would help if you had troubles during the practice sessions. The classroom has 2 projectors and one main screen, which makes it easy to see what the instructor was doing whatever seat you sat on. Food is also provided for every class, and they allow you to bring it in.

Entering the programme with no expectations, I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of effort that was put in to make the classes more fun and engaging. The pace of learning was just right and the course provides additional practice for those falling... Read More behind in the understanding of concepts. The 'homework' given allows for practice and solidifies the understanding of the concepts learnt in class.

The course length however is 3 hours and some might find it hard to stay attentive towards the end of the class. Hackwagon does provide sufficient food and drinks and breaks in-between to make your stay comfortable as much as possible.

The course gave an easy-to-understand introduction to data science using python. The fundamental libraries (statistics, numpy, matplotlib and pandas) were taught in incremental steps that were suitable for students with no prior programming experience.... Read More The instructors were also able to relate to the various struggle a beginner programmer would face and this made the learning much easier. Overall, the course helped me to understand the paths that I can take to improve my data science skills and I am more conversant in data science topics.

Great course for any beginners to coding, even those with no knowledge.
Class structure and lesson flow were very good. I did not feel rushed at all.
Juypter Notebook was a great teaching material and the use of it was essential to my learning, helping... Read More me learn about coding by giving me an opportunity to learn
Lots of real-world examples, helping understand how python/pandas are used in data science: the final Airbnb project was very fun and rewarding!

Great teaching by Jishnu, explains things clearly.
Many helpful teaching assistants, always willing to help you with your code/debug.

Perhaps a quick review of the homework assignments at the start of each lesson. I did not need a review but I believe it would be especially useful for those who struggled with it.
Explain how to do, why code in such way.

Lots of food also!
Perhaps a bit too much/fulling haha.
