    Be careful when cancelling your subscription at DataCamp!

    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 ha...

    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...

    Helpful but very frustrating

    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...

    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.

    "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...

    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...

    Same problem with the subscription

    $29 more than I'd like to spend and support is totally unresponsive.

    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...

    Waste of time

    I would highly recommend people to not waste time with Datacamp. I've used it actively for a few weeks and don't feel like I've really learned anything. The exercises are ridiculously easy and the instruction for them gives everything away. Usually the code needed to solve the problem is more than half written for you and you just have to do the easiest parts, sometimes by copypasting code from the instruction.. Seriously, what am I supposed to learn this way?

    Although they adver...

    Okay for beginners

    Ive used datacamp for about 3 months now and while i found it to be quite useful and informative for the beginner courses, as the courses progress and become more advanced, it becomes very frustrating. There are frequently mistakes in the exercises and it becomes even more frustrating to attempt to reproduce any of the exercises offered as the resources used in the exercise are not offered, instead you will need to find and download what you hope will be identical to what was used. Further...

    Fast and Efficient

    It is very well organised platform to learn data science proper way. I used it to learn python for data science and data science as a new thing as well. I recommend it as a way to learn fast tips and tricks of this field but it is not enough if you want to become real expert. It doesn't cover every aspect.
