• I made my first project on Power BI.

  I took data from datacamp and tried to practice information that I learned from different resources. I would be very grateful for some advices to help me improve my skills in the next projects. Thanks for your time! Source: about 1 year ago

• AI to improve revenue of liquor/wine retail stores

  What steps do I need to take to build what they need? I have no experience in ML, AI, etc. I see there are services such as datacamp.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• LMS Plugin for creating Coding Bootcamp

  I am trying to create educational courses on my website. I am looking at datacamp.com for inspiration. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any Beginner python courses starting this September/October (in-person or virtual)?

  If you want to learn python for data science/machine learning, datacamp.com is an excellent resource (not sure what TDSB Learn4Life is). Source: over 1 year ago

• From being a QS to Data Proffessional

  I have completed Python for everybody on Coursera (You don't have to pay, you can audit a course to get access to the content but you will not earn a certificate) but then I moved to R (my husband knows R and can help me) on data-camp (paid platform but every first chapter is free if you sign up) and now learning SQL but I cannot say it's the best route, a bit zig-zaggy :D.

• Where's the best place to start coding for a complete beginner?

  Kaggle.com and datacamp.com for data science. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Learning R by watching YouTube or any other free platform?

  If you don't know anything about R, then check datacamp.com. There are a few free resources out there which will be helpful. Source: almost 2 years ago

• new to R and need practicing

  Datacamp.com has a few very good R courses (and some very shitty ones, so choose wisely). Source: about 2 years ago

• Can an art teacher become a researcher?

  Most education research likely requires a similar level of statistics that we use in our circles. You can look at datacamp.com, Youtube videos with sample problems, and tutorials about common stats packages (e.g., R, SAS, Stata, SPSS). Source: about 2 years ago

• Best way to start learning R with prior js experience? Is it possible to learn in a week?

  As a college student check out datacamp.com R course. It is super nice and easy to follow and learn quick. Usually it is $400 for a year but if your a college student it is $150 for the year. It also comes with Python and SQL learning. Well worth it tbh. Source: about 2 years ago

• Girlfriend wants to pivot her political science career into tech, what's a good sign that this is the right path for her? I noticed she said she enjoyed working on codeacademy lessons, likening it to a puzzle. I felt the same when I first started my career.

  Self taught for a few years on the side and eventually went back for my MS in DS to land my first full-time analyst job. There is a lot more thought/theory that goes into DS compared to programming so I think bootcamps aren't the most ideal. I've had interviews for data analyst jobs that were completely stats based, not a typical coding/skills interview, that made me realize I needed a MS instead of a bootcamp. I...

• What are students paying for?

  Not long, and the kind of major that I teach in and run is going to be the first to fall. It won't all happen at once, but it has already started with bootcamps and subscription services like Data Camp are a reality and the continued growth of companies like 2U could be the death knell for programs like mine. Source: about 2 years ago

• Right way to learn statistics?

  There are many online resources that teach many basic stat concepts while teaching how to explore them in R. For example, the R Stats Cookbook (https://rc2e.com/), datacamp.com has courses on R that review stats info in addition to just basic stats courses that also let you learn by doing.

• For those stuck at a dead end job after college how did you break the cycle and found something better

  Coding is an essential part of it. Almost every company has some sort of data team so you can literally work anywhere which makes it easier to translate past experience. Take a few classes in SQL and see how you feel. I like datacamp.com. If you decide coding isn't for you then data science is going to be pretty tough. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is everyone underpaid or is CS just overpaid?

  I went to a data science bootcamp in Seattle. Before committing to an in-person bootcamp, I would recommend checking out the courses on codecademy.com and datacamp.com. If you feel like it's a good fit, an in-person bootcamp does provide a structured curriculum and assistance in the job search. Source: over 2 years ago

• Stuck in a dead end blue collar job but have always dreamed of working in IT but have no idea where to start.

  I was an electrician for about 10 years. Got sick of the work and environment and knew I needed to get out. I did part of the freecodecamp.org course, and learned the basics of javascript, HTML, and CSS. I then dabbled in Python at dataquest.io and datacamp.com but realised I wasn't interested in data science. However, I learned Python had more versatility than analytics. After 8 months of playing with Python I... Source: over 2 years ago

• how to practice Python without installing Python?

  Im in the same situation, I have been using the datacamp.com python basics course and I have been using their inbuilt python UI. Source: over 2 years ago

• Learning Machine learning for DS

  You have mad maths skills bro (or sis). Don't forget, even if it has been a while and you don't have the memory or confidence anymore, you probably studied Quantum Field Theory and General Relativity, and maybe even Statistical Physics, in all the glorious mathematical details using group theory, tensors, and crazy stuff like particles going backwards and forwards in time and all that. Have confidence. I know I... Source: over 2 years ago

• I’m getting tired of playing games

  Yeah, I started to learn programming in datacamp.com as a hobby because it feels like a game and I feel like I'm learning something new and possibly useful. Source: over 2 years ago

• Which programme should I learn?

  If you have money to spend take check out datacamp.com (I'm taking a few courses) or coursera has an IBM Data Science certificate. Source: almost 3 years ago
