One of the better data science/machine learning platforms I've used but it's usually very expensive at full price, so thought it was worth a mention now that it is 40~50% off. I come from a mathematics background and have been using it in the past year to upskill myself in python and have been very happy with it's offerings (it also constantly updates with more relevant content throughout the year - e.g. it recently released a PowerBI data analytics course).

It's a bit more expensive than DataCamp but more worth it in my opinion because it doesn't just tell you to fill in the blanks or give you overly simplistic quizzes, it actually makes you implement the code from scratch and throw you into projects (with minimal hand holding - but plenty of support material if you so choose to use it).

    This vs. Datacamp?

    Also, would this be enough for a reasonably technically minded nerd to make a career switch as a data analyst (not scientist)?

    Is learning SQL, PowerBI, Tableau and Advanced Excel sufficient to get an entry level anal job?

      A moderate understanding of these plus soft skills to analyse and breakdown a problem plus communicate the output with audiences throughout an org would be better then 50% of people I work with. You can teach any monkey python or sql but that soft skill set will get you tens of thousands more annually. Perhaps balance it out with some statistical analysis skills as well, if you don’t already have.

        Sort of agree, but if you have some sort of commercial acumen and business understanding you become very employable.

        Learning soft skills isn't that easy. If it were I probably wouldn't have a job. Source: mgmt consultant

      Personally I think DataQuest is much better - more hands on. The certificate itself is not that valuable though since you can mark everything complete easily to get it.
      Keep in mind that Data Analytics field is vastly overrated on the internet, it's more for selling courses rather than the actual market demand so it is incredibly competitive - everyone and their dogs who hate their jobs all want to get in.

        Yeah. We have never actually hired anyone because they had a datacamp or whatever. It’s always the other way - send people with finance backgrounds to do data nerd training.

        The yt/tt bros selling the idea that you work through dataquest or Datacamp and everyone bashes down your door to offer you 100k jobs is surreal.

    There is nothing that stands out at "DataQuest". I would rather go for Udemy. Thousands of courses at 10 bucks.

    • teadonna on 05/06/2022 - 18:35

      I have tried Udemy as well but the course quality over there varies from instructor to instructor (Jose Portilla were one of my go to instructors for data science ages ago - not sure if he released more courses since). Though personally I prefer DataQuest because I learn better doing projects (which I can repurpose for a portfolio) - it provides the theory on the right hand side and the terminal on the right hand side for me to instantly apply it.

      • mynameisborat on 05/06/2022 - 18:39

        That's true that Udemy doesn't have an inbuilt terminal, but it's better to gain an experience on a standalone IDE like PyCharm, which is used at most workplaces. Mastering Pycharm is a task in itself. On the course quality, it's again true that the quality varies from instructor to instructor, and that's why Udemy offers a 30 days refund policy.

        • teadonna on 05/06/2022 - 20:01

          Personally I was focused on learning the data science fundamentals rather than having to setup workspaces (and also because the IDE and tooling in general depends on the company and team). Each to their own learning styles.

    Off, not of. Two different words, two different meanings.

    • teadonna on 05/06/2022 - 19:55

      Hahah thanks, I did it right the second time but missed the first time
