DataCamp

I have tried many sites to learn to code along the years. This time I have really learn and I have stick to the site coming back every single day. The difference is that I can see what the applications of my learning are and not just some abstract learning... Read More without meaning. I have developed some tools in just a few weeks that allow me to create my own data projects on R and even create a quick website using Shiny. That never happened to me before with other sites.

At the time I have found very little impact of the areas of opportunity on my user experience. Yes, there are some. But the team is quick at answering back the emails and help out.

I had the privilege of exploring some of the DataCamp courses(R,Python) for my research in Data Engineering Science and was immediately awestruck with the content , learning direction and most importantly the simplicity. I'm duly thankful to DataCamp... Read More & their Team in bringing an equal opportunity service for all age-groups.

DataCamp in one Phrase : "Everything should be made as simple as possible , but not simpler" - Albert Einstein

DataCamp provides a good start into the wide field of Data Science. They introduce all the important concepts, and technologies, you need to succeed. The courses are easy to grasp, and it is strongly recommended to deepen your new learned knowledge in... Read More the provided daily practice and project sections.

DataCamp was able to recruit several big names of the Data Science area for their courses. This gives this learning platform an additional weight and reputation. They are also well connected to professional social networking websites, making it easier for you to promote your new acquired skills.

DataCamp has been coming out with a ton of cool courses lately that I have really enjoyed. Also, they have practice content and projects which makes the material in courses more tangible.

The instructors are solid and really seem like experts. The courses... Read More are fairly quick paced but that works well with my learning style. 5 stars

Pros: 1. It has videos to explain a concept
2. Many concepts are included and explained that not all MOOCs provide
3. It offers certificates to make me motivated to complete the course
4. It offers courses in Phyton and R
5. It has a lot courses that... Read More can be choose from
6. Cheaper than many other MOOCs
7. It offers projects that you can work on after completing several courses
Cons: 1. I don't feel like I was challenged enough
2. Many exercises are too easy and only fill in the blanks
3. Easy forget the concept after finish the course
4. I feel I don't grasp or learn much after the end of the concept
Overall, It doesn't meet my expectations on a Data Science Course because I don't feel I learn, know, and understand after completing the course because the exercises were just fill in the blanks from the given instructions. Should have give the customer many challenging exercises where they coded from the beginning to the end without feel being spoon-fed. Customer will remember, understand, and learn more if they are asked to think and code for the solution themselves.

I have been taking a good amount of data science classes online, and I wish I found DataCamp sooner. The videos give context to the interactive code, which helped me understand what I was doing as opposed to gaming the system like I did on other platforms.... Read More Overall, a great way to learn Python, directly from the experts that wrote the packages. Some of the accents can be difficult to understand but nothing insurmountable. I recommend!
