The courses offered by DataCamp are top notch, and nothing short of best in class. The uniqueness is that each course is small enough to grasp the core concept and then immediately followed by exercise. The fact that the instructors themselves are scholars in their field adds to be value.
I would recommend every datascience student to at least browse and see for yourself, you will never repent. It has truly astonishing content for learning. -

It's a good place to learn
Datacamp have been teaching me all the foundations in a very guided manner. They have provided me with a lot of video lessons and exercises that helped me to internalize the concepts taught. This is really a course where you don't need to have previous knowledge to learn, although if you already have worked with python before, you'll get ver confortable learning in datacamp. -

Datacamp: The best option for learning
I knew Datacamp by friends' reviews, since the first thought, seems the best option to start learning about this exciting field of data, I'm learning in a way practical way, after each lesson of explanation, you practice the new knowledge. I never get bored with the lessons. Besides, Datacamp usually offers discounts in annual subscription. :) -

Good SQL resource
Read more Read less of Brian P's review
The SQL Skill Tracks offered are good learning resources, they currently offer courses using SQL Server and PostGreSQL. Topics are introduced with a quick 2-5 minute video and then the user gets to go practice the skills, often in a guided practice environment that provides useful feedback if you make a mistake. Site also offers projects where users can go use the skills they learned and a skills test that can help the user identify areas of weakness.
Went through multiple skill tracks in a short period and gained a lot of confidence in my ability to write SQL queries. While the topics covered across the skill tracks were often similar (basics, aggregate functions, dates, nested q's, CTE's, window functions..), I actually found this very beneficial as it re-enforced the core concepts I needed to learn. Plus, you learn something different from each course, so you're learning different ways to use those core concepts.
I have enjoyed all SQL offerings from DataCamp so far and I will be continuing my education on the site with a focus on Python next. I have only just started, but it's the same style learning experiences with a lot more course and track offerings, and I am feel like I am learning Python already. -

Awesome Experience at DataCamp

First of all thank you DataCamp for the awesome content you guys have curated for the learners like me. Previously, I have been in to a lot of confusion about where to start my data analytics journey. I have also joined a paid course but their content is not that much of quality that a novice learner can digest. After a rigorous research, I stumbled upon DataCamp and after taking their free course, I immediately subscribed. One most important thing about DataCamp's content is that, they have created bite sized lectures and most importantly after every theory lecture there are plenty of exercises to do. I would say the ratio of theory and practical is 1:5.
For a beginner, who wants to pursue his/her career in data science or data engineering, DataCamp is a must thing to have.
Thanks!!! -

Love DataCamp!
I love that with DataCamp, I get a video, text instructions that reinforce or add to what was introduced in the video, and a practice space. As I'm doing the exercises, I can get hints if I get stuck. With so many instructors and class topics, it's a great value and a well-designed learning space. -
I am an IT profesional with 15 years of experience trying to start a carrer related with Data.
The best site to start a data carrer.
Hello,
I am very please with dstacamp, first it is beginner friendly, the video course are short, and they apply the prínciple of learning by doing. -

EDX HarvardX: PH526x Using Python for Research
Read more Read less of Jozef's review
I came in contact with datacamp when i did an online mooc on EDX.
A lot of the times it worked great but also a lot of the times it did not.
For example it took them 3 weeks to fix a link where you needed to download a data set. Also a lot of right answere are rejected because it is not exactly like it should be. I f your code looks even a little bit off it is rejected.
The platform looks great but I personnly would never have used it if it was not used by that EDX course.

Great Learning Experiance
I like Datacamp because you don't need to install any additional software to do any courses.
Instractions are simple and easy to understand. You can follow courses related to specific skill set or programming language.
If Datacamp can facilitate Job Assitance, it is really helpful to the people who is looking to change their carreer path.

Think twice before you subscribe it
The overall experience is not good. You can find alternative online learning place out there. The subscription is the worst I had been experience. It's unprofessional & unacceptable. So much disappointment on this US company. Not going to use it again.

Excellent Learning
Read more Read less of Ian Frantz's review
I've been taking online courses for five years now and love DataCamps format for learning. I treat the material the same as I would any class and keep a notebook and really work on the problems instead of taking hints or showing solutions. I have six different datacamp certificates and as my learning R has improved the course tracks DataCamp offers have been great in helping me reach my next level in the long journey of Data Science. :]

Great set of courses!
Read more Read less of Taras Kaduk's review
This is my second year on DataCamp, and I am loving it. The content is great, the videos are informational enough. As for the tasks, they depend on the course you're taking. Some are more helpful than the others.
But overall, a great platform to learn R (or Python, I assume)
I also happen to do SQL assignments from edX course via DataCamp. So I guess the platform is capable of growing outside of R/Python boundaries.

A good beginner platform for learning R
Instructions are clear and the step-by-step exercises did a great job of easing beginners into learning.
The server can be unstable sometimes which will disconnect the session or automatically log you out when you turn off your computer so a good practice is to submit your work before going on to do other things.

Data Scientist with R
I have been taking DataCamp online courses for R for last 4 months and all the courses are very well strucutred. Every chapter starts from very basics and gradually covers all the topics in-depth. Time flexibility is the biggest advantage of this online platform.

really nice tool and courses
Read more Read less of Daniel's review
DataCamp is a really nice tool to learn. It's iterative and the way they plan the course feels (to me) like a very smooth progression. The courses are not in depth in details, but they do present the tools and possibilities very well, and make you go through and use of it in different scenarios.
I've done a few courses related to R and I keep coming back for more as they are always adding new interesting courses.
Recently they added some career tracks for R and Python for Developers, Data Scientist and Data Analyst and Quantitative Analyst.
I recommed this tool to anyone that wants to start using R or Python in the data analysis/science world. -

Strongly recommend

I really recommend Data Camp for most of my collegues, because of its pioneering work in teaching data science online in a feasible way. Maybe the greatest about it is the fact courses are completely flexible so that you can handle with your learning schedule the way you want it. In busy weeks I slow my pace at Data Camp without loosing much. It is also very interesting that you doesen't need to have R or R Studio installed in your computer to do the courses exercises. This allows you to keep studying in every platform you have in hand: may it be your cell phone, notebook or a college PC. In a summary, I'm very satisfected with Data Camp and I will continue to support the project even when I finish all the courses I had in mind at the first moment, because there are always new and more specific courses available. I have to congratulate Data Camp developers for their commitment with us (users). If it was a privilege of few students in the past to learn data science, thanks to Data Camp it is becoming easier today to spread learning about state-of-the-art tools and techniques for scientific research.

Wonderful!

I find DataCamp's lessons quite useful and easy to learn. The courses are challenging and get you thinking about the possibilities that can be done with Python and R. I have taken one R course and 5 Python courses so far. I will definitely be pursuing more as time allows.
I was able to use Python at my work almost immediately and have been able to manipulate data with codes that I learned from DataCamp. I highly recommend DataCamp to beginners like me. The steps of learning Python and R are quite logical and have a nice progression of knowledge and skill building.

Be careful when cancelling your subscription at DataCamp!
Read more Read less of Antonio Serrano's review
I took the course "Writing Functions in R" at DataCamp. It was pretty good and I was very satisfied with the contents. The teachers were both excelent.
But problems came when I tried to cancel my subscription. First I did it from the account settings and apparently was all right. End of story. But a few months later I unpleseantly found out that my subscription had been automatically reactivated!! I wrote an email to the DataCamp support team. They replied to me arguing that I had been to select the option "Forever" within the "Pause subscription" menu.
So, if you do not select “forever” in that hide option within the account settings–whose existence you could not know beforehand–, your account automatically reactivates. It is definitely a tricky ugly ruse to force the customer to pay. Unbelievable and unaccpetable. Very disappointing.

Helpful but very frustrating
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
R is fairly difficult to learn, especially if you don't come from a strong statistics/programming background. Through taking all of their classes, you can go from a beginner to competent, but the path won't be easy.
The DataCamp interface is very glitchy - there are quite a few answers that I thought were right, couldn't solve, and after seeing what the actual answer was, still don't see any difference whatsoever. Additionally, if you run into any problems and e-mail the DataCamp team, they probably won't bother responding - I've sent multiple e-mails and followed up each time, never got a reply. They also sometimes ask you to use functions and knowledge they haven't taught you, and their built-in hints are sometimes useless.
In short, this is a very good resource to go from beginner to adequate with R. Just don't expect the road to be easy, and don't expect to have your hand held at all.

Structured Path to Data Skills
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I recently started using DataCamp as part of a scholarship program, and so far, my experience has been positive. The platform is well-structured, especially for beginners who are just getting into data analysis and programming.
The lessons are broken down into short, interactive segments, which makes it easier to stay engaged. I also like that you can practice immediately after learning a concept instead of just watching videos passively.
One thing I noticed is that some topics can feel a bit confusing at first, especially if you’re completely new to programming. However, with consistency and practice, it starts to make more sense over time.Another advantage is that it doesn’t consume too much data compared to other learning platforms, which is helpful for students.Overall, I think DataCamp is a solid platform for building foundational skills in Python and data analysis. It requires discipline and consistency, but if you stay committed, you can learn a lot from it. -

DataCamp experience

I have had a few weeks of experience using the DataCamp platform, following a scholarship award from Data Community Africa. It has been a good interactive session. I previously had tried learning data science in diffeerent platforms- linked in learning, youtube, and all had the same problems- I didnt feel like I was having a good and nice flow of concepts right from the beginners guide to the intermediate and to the advanced levels. In this platform, I see myself grow, thanks to the interactive dashboards and practical activity.Sylar of DataCamp

Good learn portal
It is a good portal which balances theory and practice.
First, it teaches you about the theory of the topic, and then it lets you apply all that knowledge in a virtual environment with good exercise.
I recommend it.Sylar of DataCamp

DataCamp helped me understand more about code
DataCamp is the most worthwhile online course platform for learning about data and using analytical tools such as SQL, Python, and even data visualization tools like Power BI. I’ve tried and learned from many platforms, and so far, DataCamp offers the best value for the price. It has helped me understand how to code more easily.Sylar of DataCamp

Good experience
I love datacamp. I believe it’s a great platform to start. I’m about to finish a bootcamp in data science. Datacamp has helped me to set base, and improve some skills. I don’t recommend it to rely only on the knowledge just from here but build up from it or improve on things you already have. -

Extraordinary and rewarding coding experience
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
DataCamp is my favorite platform for learning technical skills. The courses are designed to make the student learn and think about real world issues. Whether it is a beginning, intermediate or advanced course the structure is similar. You learn from short videos; then practice challenging exercises; finally, you put all together with excellent projects. For me, this learning experience is not only rewarding but also exiting. The instructors are extraordinary as well as the content of each course I have taken. Thus far, I have taken more than 60 courses in Python and SQL applicable to finance, research, higher education and more.
