    Decent Material But Shady Payment Practices

    Material is decent and is good for beginners though may be too rudimentary and not applicable for real life projects. However my biggest issue is with their payment renewal system. I had signed up specifically for only a month subscription and was under the impression that after the month was done my subscription would be over. However based on their policy they automatically auto-renew you for whatever period you signed up for (monthly/yearly). Their websites hides this fact and briefly...

    Don't waste your money

    I got a data camp subscription because I wanted to get better at coding and learn stuff like R and Pandas. Unfortunately it was kind of a waste of time and money. The courses are redundant and don't actually help you build skill-- they hand you all the answers and there is no room to challenge yourself. edX and Rosalind are both free sites that are worth your time. I wouldn't recommend a data camp subscription because it is very hard to cancel: they don't have a customer service phone li...

    "I feel I don't learn much because I forgot the concept after I finish the course"

    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 can be choosen 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...

    Learning R and Python

    I highly recommend DataCamp for anyone considering R and/or Python for intense data analysis. Whether your interest is related to data you already have and desire to apply statistical analysis properly or your interest is in ultimately becoming a Data Scientist, DataCamp is the way to go. As a Data Manager I've always had the desire to deep dive into analysis but also limited in time to do so. Now that I'm retired I've started that deep dive in both R and Python with the help of DataCamp's...

    Best Online Learning I've found

    I've tried many different online training options.  Datacamp has the best format for learning, in my opinion.  What I like is, you are introduced visually to some material to learn, then you have to take that and complete some learning exercises before continuing. You always have the option to skip to the solution if you are completely stumped, but if you are serious about learning, you will use all resources you can muster to complete the material on your own.  The points you earn give yo...

    Absolutly perfect

    I don´t know exactly how i got to DataCamp, but seriously, it is one of the best experience i ever made! 

    I did some other courses before on pages like Coursera and Udemy, but they are not comparable to DataCamp for 2 reasons:

    - DataCamp has the absolut best Price/Value ratio ever. You only pay about 29$ bucks and you can do so much courses as you want for a whole month.

    - The courses are build like this: Every course is seperated into 5 moduls - which are sep...

    Great way to enter the complex world of data science!

    Data Camp is an excellent online tool for learning data science. As a non-programmer, learning R, in particular, would have been nearly impossible without the brilliant  courses offered. Data Camp has been an invaluable adjunct to the Coursera Data Science Specialisation. If you are interested in acquiring valuable skills in data science, I would thoroughly recommend signing up for Data Camp !

    Data Science with Python

    I am not a strong programmer, but through the short instruction videos and then the exercises, my ability to use python to do data science has really progressed. I'm now able to do import from various formats, analysis, visualization, bootstrap, and most importantly, clean and organize my data to do the above. Throw in 3 different machine learning courses (supervised, unsupervised and deep learning) and I am feeling much better about my data science abilities.

    Excellent way to learn Python for Data Science

    What I appreciate most are the easy, short and very understandable video instructions, immediately followed by accessible exercises. 

    Studying data science (with Python) wherever and whenever you want, for instance, when you have a few minutes during lunch break you can make a quick exercise and feel good about it! 

    Excellent work Datacamp, I'll introduce my students to it next semester :-)
