Datacamp Yearly Subscription Offer April 2024

I am very satisfied with the contents of the courses I followed on DataCamp which became very useful for my Data Science certification.

I'm in love with this e-learning platform, has everything in the platform. What caught my attention is the inbuilt data application along side its training material - beautiful and genius, haven't encountered any e-learning platforms like it. Second, is the daily task with its piont rewards system for achieving tasks, which gives you the gaming feelings, and not forgetting the ease of switching from laptop to phone. I love everything about it, you just want to come back for more

This platform offers the best learning experience in my point of view. The right mix of learning by studying and learning by doing . With consistency, habit and time, Data science becomes no miracle.However, it will be good to also add a learning with mentors method where each learner can choose and follow a mentor for inspiration.

Great platform to learn data analytics with applied knowledge with step-by-step practices.

Really enjoying my experience. Perfect for a complete dunce like myself, currently learning SQL and the format and the way its presenting really works for me. Its broken up into small digestible components that helps people, that have no prior knowledge, to gradually understand and utilise the programming language with fair degree of confidence.And it's mostly free until you want to extend your knowledge and skills, then a price is introduced. 4

I created a review previously and deleted it as it wasn't a fair reflection of Datacamp. This one is hopefully more balanced.PRO:Datacamp does not require laborious installation of multiple software applications, complex configuration of IDEs or databases nor the administration of security settings, unlike vendors like Coursera for example, who require for certain courses that you install software, which almost always turns out to be out of date, incompatible or with instructions that are just plain wrong.Datacamp does't require that you know anything about programming. It teaches you bitesize chunks and gently introduces you to a wide range technologies and subjects including GIT, Scala, Python, R, SQL, Tableau, Excel, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics and Probability and more.Datacamp doesn't cost as much as Udacity or some of the EdX micromasters. Datacamp doesn't restrict you to one learning path: You can start as a Python Developer, change to a Data Analyst using Python for example, then to a Data Analyst using R then to a Machine Learning Engineer using R then to statistician, or any other combination of roles, any number of times. There are no restrictions at all on what nor how you choose to study.It's affordable and offers a low-cost, low-skill/knowledge pathway into various domains.The courses progress in "baby-steps".CONS:The courses are really only intended for beginners. If you wish to improve your skills beyond a rudimentary level then you may find it frustrating to have all of your code spoon-fed to you with the only cognitive test of your skill being to guess which word fills a blank space.This is a big problem for Datacamp and is the reason it lacks an extra 2 stars. It's all the more frustrating and annoying given that this situation is so easy to solve.If a basic indication of learning could be simplified as 1) Identifying the correct 'answer' from a finite list, 2) Recalling the answer without a list of possible answers 3) Correctly applying the answer without a list of possible answers, then DataCamp only concentrates on level 1, whereas the real world requires level 3 competence.To achieve this Datacamp could split a large program into smaller functional areas. For instance it could split the objective of "reading from a CSV file and printing the data onto a bar graph" into the steps of: importing the libraries, opening the file, reading the file, saving the data in a variable, loading the data to a graphing function and finally displaying the graph. It could then test level 1 understanding to see if someone can order the functional parts correctly. It could then as a level 2 test ask the person to type what functions go in each part, e.g. read_csv and finally could test level 3 comprehension by asking the student to identify what arguments to pass from the documentation (like in the real world) and run and test the program - but it doesn't do this. It only ever stays at level 1 and it is really, genuinely, unbelievably frustrating, as this overuse of adverbs will attest. It's like receiving a provisional driving licence, getting in the car with the instructor, receiving the obligatory safety instructions, starting the car, checking the mirrors...and then turning off the engine because that's the end of the lesson. Maybe it'd be a different car or a different driveway or instructor each day...but it'd always be the same: you never get out the driveway. And that's the problem with DataCamp as it stands: It's great for getting started, but useless if you actually want to get anywhere.Still it's an easy situation for them to improve and I hope that they do, as it'd make their courses some of the best available

I don't understand why there are lot of bad reviews.I found it pretty good. There is lot of material and also i managed to get the package at decent price due to discount sale of New Year.I believe most of the bad reviews is coming from people who were complete beginners and the programmes were a bit too intellectual for them.I also admit, use Datacamp courses if you have brief understanding.Like if you want to learn SQL, learn the basics via Udemy or Youtube and then come to Datacamp.

DataCamp has gave me real job opportunities due to it's extensive knowledge coverage. I have literally said in a job interview that I didn't knew some technical stuff that were required for the job but that I had access to DataCamp to learn it in a fast way. They loved it!

It easy to understand

I'm very happy for this app, It's very complete, thanks and congrats for all work do it.
