NYC Data Science Academy offers 12-week, accredited data science and data analytics bootcamps in New York City and live online. NYC Data Science Academy is a nationally accredited Data Science Bootcamp in the U.S that teaches both Python and R. In the program, students will learn beginner and intermediate levels of Data Science with Hadoop, Spark, Github, Docker, SQL, R, and Python packages like XgBoost, Caret, Dplyr, Ggplot2, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and more. The program distinguishes itself by balancing intensive lectures with real-world project work and the breadth of its curriculum. The academy is well known for its industry project-oriented learning experience and well-immersed community established since 2013.
Students will work on at least four individual or team projects showcased to employers through private hiring partner events, student blogs, meetups, and film presentations. The academy also offers strong lifetime career support such as tech interview prep, mock interviews, unlimited mentorships, and 1-on-1 post-interview reviews and feedback from career mentors to help students ace their interviews.
This course is ideal if you already have programming experience. I had experience with Matlab and R, so this provided the answer to the "how do I do that in Python" question. If you have never programmed before, go through Learn Python the Hard Way very thoroughly before enrolling. You will get the most out of this course if you have already learned basic programming concepts and can therefore focus on the intent of the course: data analysis and visualization.

This course is ideal if you already have programming experience. I had experience with Matlab and R, so this provided the answer to the "how do I do that in Python" question. If you have never programmed before, go through Learn Python the Hard Way very thoroughly before enrolling. You will get the most out of this course if you have already learned basic programming concepts and can therefore focus on the intent of the course: data analysis and visualization.
The class teaches very practical aspects of Python and data manipulation and visualization. Often we know what question we want to ask and maybe even already have the data, but need to get it into a form to analyze and present visually. This course was good at preparing you for that. Little time was spent on cleaning data, most was spent on learning Python and manipulating data and how to visualize it.
The instructor, Liz, was easygoing and personable, which made it very easy to ask questions. She was also knowledgeable about the topic and could give insights into what it was like to actually use these tools on a daily basis. I enjoyed having her as an instructor.
I'm only giving it four stars, which to me means very good, because five stars to me means truly exceptional. In order for this course to be truly exceptional, it would need to ensure all students were up to a certain standard in Python, allowing the class to go into the data analysis and visualization much faster. Given that the students in the class had extremely different backgrounds and levels of programming experience, I was very impressed.
In conclusion, if you are using other tools like Excel and have some programming experience, I recommend this course as a good way to move your work into Python to take advantage of its speed, flexibility and packages. I was able to create visualizations of crime and weather data I got from the NYC Open Data site in only a couple hours after taking this course. Well worth it!
