DataCamp

Avantages

Not much other than the fact that it is paid.

Inconvénients

The fact it is a bit expensive, coming from a third world country the price is a bit over the top.

Avantages

First, I like the interactive learning style in DataCamp. It's much more effective to learn while coding and getting instant feedback, while also doing it at your own pace. I also like the quality and wide range of courses in DataCamp.

Inconvénients

The price is a bit high. Other than that, I don't really have anything else I dislike about DataCamp.

Pourquoi passer à DataCamp

Avantages

Gained a lot of knowledge with various topics on Cloud concepts, Data analytics, Python, R programming, BigData concepts with both bite sized videos of theory at first where the instructors from the industry explain with examples, after each video there is a hands-on session with a simple and nice interface. There is also a workspace area where we can practice and showcase our skills and share it too being part of our portfolio. The assessments they provide us gives us information about what we learn, the areas we are strong in and the progress of our learning. Lastly, there is good support, when stuck we can get hints to proceed with the programming tasks, MCQs. Apart from this there is a Slack community where there are lot of active users and instructors that solve doubts quickly and efficiently.

Inconvénients

Their VM crashes when learning the Tableau, Power BI and it takes a lot of time for it to load initially. Secondly, I faced an issue with the course progress where I had completed 3 modules/chapters out of 4, but when I tried to proceed to the next chapter (4th), it automatically reseted the progress of the 3rd chapter and showed that I did not complete it. Had taken screenshots and sent had given the feedback in the feedback section for each module.

Avantages

Wide range of courses: Datacamp offers a large selection of courses in a variety of programming languages and data science topics, making it a good choice for those looking to learn or improve their skills in these areas. Interactive learning experience: Datacamp courses are interactive, allowing users to practice what they have learned through exercises and quizzes as they go through the material.

Inconvénients

Cost: While Datacamp offers a free trial and discounts for students, its courses can be expensive for those who are looking for a more budget-friendly learning option. Difficulty finding specific courses: With such a large selection of courses available, it can be challenging to find the specific course you are looking for, especially if you are not sure of the exact title or subject area.

Avantages

Data Camp's online platform is accessible and easy to use. It has video lectures and offers practice problems that helps to understand the concepts. Platform offers courses in Python and R. There are beginner, intermediate, and advanced courses that teaches key data science principles.

Inconvénients

Needs to add more relevant and up to date courses, needs to add additional projects/practice problems for each course.

Avantages

I like that DataCamp focuses on computer science which has a huge demand in the market. I also like that each course is offered in two programming languages like python or R language. The interface of DataCamp is straightforward and makes you want always to keep learning.

Inconvénients

I don't like that DataCamp doesn't have any discussion forum that allows us to exchange information and share our knowledge. Also, DataCamp is overpriced compared to the competitors and doesn't provide any scholarships

Avantages

Is a life changer! Tutorials and courses of very interesting topics. In my case is coding and you can choose your favorite.

Inconvénients

The prices are not bad for all that you can get.

Avantages

I have been working as a data analyst for the last few years but my educational path has been pretty self-driven up to this point. Datacamp is helping me to fill in the gaps with all of the stuff I don't know I don't know.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a better way to download the materials for later review.

Avantages

Content is gradually increased, so you don't feel overwhelmed. The challenges they give you during chapters, is brilliant - it checks your knowledge. I've competed 3 courses so far, and am on my 4th - and they all seem to have the same style of delivery.

Inconvénients

The hints, they are most of the time, awful. Actually its frustrating, learning something new, being given hints which simply put - do not help at all.....

Avantages

I enjoy every lesson. Before DataCamp I tried to take many courses on programming and data analysis but always failed as there were boring. With DataCamp I find a vast variety of lessons and is easy to follow step by step. Perfect for beginners

Inconvénients

Is a lot of information and sometimes it gets hard to decide where to start

Avantages

You have access to so many courses that help you to start or continue the progress in any particular skill, which in my case was coding.

Inconvénients

The cost overall is not bad, but I don not want to pay for courses that I'm not interested in.

Avantages

You can keep the score of your progress, which is very helpful and keeps you motivated.

Inconvénients

The price can be high for all the courses.

Avantages

You can find help to learn new skills like coding without previous knowledge.

Inconvénients

The cost of some features are not accessible for everyone.

Avantages

First is very accesible to learn about DataCamp, and have different tools to develop.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the program close and do not save the data.

Avantages

Everything! This is one of the best platforms to learn Python/R/Data Analysis to ever exist! I can't believe how well their programs are created, how interactive and challenging they are, and how well the whole experience is designed.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the tasks in courses were a bit uneven when it comes to level of difficulty, but I think that's a very personal opinion of mine.

Avantages

free courses are complete, videos and practices are well prepared. Thanks to the suggested learning paths, one can become a real specialist. The gamified platform is easy and fun to interact with. Price is affordable, you pay less than a monthly Netflix subscription. There are challenges and live events that make you feel like in a real academy.

Inconvénients

I can't really find anything that hurts my experience. I know that it can't be compared to a traditional University Course, but for the price I paid, the deal one gets is more than fair.

Avantages

I enjoy the way DataCamp lessons are structured and easy to follow. There are also a wealth of classes pertaining to everything a data scientists/engineer/analyst would ever need for career growth.

Inconvénients

Many of the datacamp lessons are overly simplistic. DataCamp could also offer more practice problems or assessments for skill building.
